Israel-Egypt-EU agreement falls short of supplying a long-standing solution unlike Turkey’s p/line


(MENAFN) On the word of Elai Rettig, an assistant professor in Political Studies at Bar-Ilan University the present gas agreement among Israel, Egypt, in addition to the EU falls short of supplying a long-standing solution for necessary gas flow that an Israel-Türkiye pipeline could.

Rettig stated to Anadolu Agency that the present agreement only gives an extra 2 billion cubic meters (bcm) of Israeli gas in the direct future.

This gas volume is going to be initially managed in Egypt’s LNG services and then transferred to Europe.

Rettig stated that "There are major bottlenecks in the pipelines leading from Israel to Egypt because the same pipelines are used for Israel’s domestic market as well."

Elai Rettig also expressed that "Europe needs as many alternative sources as possible. The more export deals are made, the more infrastructure will be built, the bigger the chances are that new energy companies will come to look for more gas in the East Mediterranean."
