Energy firms face legal threat over Israeli licences to drill for gas off Gaza

5 comments

The International Action Center called it in mid-November
Rule number one of the global order dont fuck with rhe US and their oil
This gas was originally supposed to be exploited for the benefits of Palestinians, with the help of Egypt. Negotiations were ongoing until literally the day of the terror attack. It would have resulted in billions in revenue and potentially energy independence for Gaza. It's yet another item in a long list of things Hamas ruined for Palestinians.

Naturally, this article mentions none of this, which I consider deeply dishonest.
- If you look at this on a map it is 100% Gazan water. What the fuck is Israel doing giving anyone "permission" to be in Gazan water?
  This is a breathtaking breach of sovereignty. Especially after it was Israel that stopped the PA from developing the gas in Gazan waters in the first place.
  Don't show us a jug of shit and call it wine.
- Excellent, time to start taking away from Israelis because of Likud's own heresy. Insight is precious.
