I know that the title screams post-1900 or general chat, but bear with me here.

For a time line I am contemplating, I need to know, is it possible to build a canal linking the Mediterranean with the Red Sea within the present borders of Israel (not that it will occur in Israel, just a state with similar borders) prior to 1800?

To make life more difficult, I am going to rule out poisoning the Sea of Galilee in the process, and with as few locks as possible. However, anything besides that is far game.
