 The geopolitics of Israel’s natural gas fields

 ******

 "The Palestinians signed a memorandum of intent on November 8, 1999 with British Gas....in 2001, then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon blocked any deal involving Palestinian gas...The two Gaza Marine fields were estimated to contain more than 1.1 trillion cubic feet of NatGas.... Palestine does not currently export natural gas." 

 "Foreign companies, including European ones, are helping Israel loot Gaza’s natural gas reserves

FYI: Israel's proven natural gas reserves are approximately 1.5 trillion and estimates are as high as 1.6 trillion for Gaza.

Israel can double it's reserves and sell it to the EU now that Russia is out.
