Israel to sign deal with Egypt, EU for gas exports
JERUSALEM (AA) – Israel will sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Egypt and the European Union (EU) in the coming weeks to export natural gas to EU countries, the country’s energy minister said on Monday.
Karine Elharrar told the Israeli Army Radio that Israeli and European teams are working on setting cooperation between them in the field of natural gas.
Under their exportation plan, the Israeli gas will go through pipelines from Israel to Egypt to be shipped to Europe, she said.
The Israeli minister added that her ministry was preparing for a new tender for gas exploration off Israel’s Mediterranean coast for the purpose of finding new quantities that allow further exportation to Europe.
The deal comes as Europe looks for alternative energy sources to end its reliance on Russian gas.
