Egyptian-Israeli gas deal to boost bilateral trade


A USD15 billion deal has been announced between Israel and Egypt to export natural gas. Israel’s Delek Group has signed an agreement to supply 64 billion cubic meters of gas in a span of ten years to Egypt’s Dolphinus Holdings.

However, the transportation of natural gas from Israel to Egypt is a challenge given the security risks.

Will the Egypt-Israel gas export deal usher in a relationship of bonhomie and economic co-operation?
