Egypt’s minister of petroleum visits Ramallah, Israel for E. Mediterranean gas forum talks, signs development pacts with both
How on earth is a territory that belongs to a terror group like the PLO supposed to concentrate on washing the land in rivers of Jewish blood when they keep being distracted by respectable money making schemes?
[AlAhram] The Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum’s founding countries include Paleostine, Israel, Egypt, Cyprus, Greece, Jordan, and Italia.

Egypt’s Minister of Petroleum Tarek El-Molla headed on Sunday to Ramallah and Israel to have talks with his counterparts over the East Mediterranean Gas Forum, the petroleum ministry said.

According to the statement issued by the ministry, El-Molla met and held talks with Mohammed Mustafa, the adviser to the Paleostinian President for economic affairs in Ramallah, and Yuval Steinitz, the Israeli minister of energy, in Jerusalem to support the goals and efforts of the Eastern Mediterranean Gas Forum.

"The visits aims to crystalise a common vision and a systematic dialogue to develop a regional market, as the forum’s charter [comes into effect] in a way that supports the member states’ efforts to invest their gas reserves and use the existing and future infrastructure through fruitful and constructive cooperation," the statement read.


PA and Egypt agree to develop natural gas field off Gaza
[IsraelTimes] The Paleostinian Authority and Egypt sign a memorandum of understanding on developing a natural gas field off the coast of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, the parties say.

"The visit to Paleostine reflects the direct interest of the Egyptian leadership in cooperation between the two brotherly countries," Egyptian Energy Minister Tariq al-Mulla says in a statement.

Since it was discovered in 2000, the Gaza Marine field has been seen as a way to bring the Paleostinian territories to energy independence. Paleostinians in the West Bank and Gaza currently receive the vast majority of their electricity from Israel.

Political considerations have prevented the development of the field so far, however.

Israel to build new natural gas pipeline from its offshore rig direct to Egypt
[IsraelTimes] During visit by Egyptian minister, countries agree on project aimed at making use of Egyptian liquefaction facilities to boost exports to Europe.

Israel and Egypt’s energy ministers agreed Sunday to build a gas pipeline from Israel’s offshore eastern Mediterranean Leviathan field to Egypt, aimed at boosting exports to Europe, an Israeli official said.

Yuval Steinitz and his Egyptian counterpart Tarek el-Molla "agreed on the construction of an offshore gas pipeline from the Leviathan gas field to the liquefaction facilities in Egypt," the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

The goal was "to increase the gas exports to Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
through the liquefaction facilities in Egypt, in light of the growing demand in Europe for natural gas," he added.

The deal was announced as Molla visited Israel, where he also met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi as well as Steinitz.

The energy ministers and their teams met "in order to enlarge and to increase the cooperation in energy," Molla said in a video released by Steinitz’s office.

Leviathan, discovered 130 kilometers (81 miles) west of the Mediterranean port city Haifa in 2010, is estimated to hold 535 billion cubic meters (18.9 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas, along with 34.1 million barrels of condensate.

US-based Noble and Israel’s Delek, the consortium leading the development of the Leviathan and the smaller Tamar field, struck a $15 billion 10-year deal last year with Egypt’s Dolphinus to supply 64 billion cubic meters (2.26 trillion cubic feet).

Israel began pumping gas from Leviathan in December 2019 and exporting to Egypt the following month.
