Time for Palestine to Claim Its Stolen Gas
Palestinians are deprived of basic living condition rights (electricity, fuel, food and medicine shortages) by their Israeli occupiers, they would be foolhardy to ignore the game-changing potential of gas extraction off their own coastline.
It was announced in Cairo that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) had been signed to export #Israeli (stolen Palestinian) #gas to the European Union (EU) through Egypt.
The #MoU, which Israel and the EU described as a “historic agreement,” extends over three years and is automatically renewable for two further years. It includes transporting gas from Israel to liquefaction stations in #Egypt, then shipping it to #EU, which imported 155 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas from Russia last year.
Europe is seeking among other sources “Israeli gas” to compensate for about 10 percent of this amount, while Israel for its part is eager to increase its production of natural #gas to 40 bcm (billion cubic meters) annually.

Israel's two largest arms companies, Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), which supply the IDF, also receive European funding.
Elbit manufactures armed swarm drones, white phosphorus and cluster bomb artillery, the use of which is illegal under international law, while IAI, which participated in various H2020 projects including SAFEDRONE and RESPONDRONE, is a key partner in patrolling the apartheid wall turning Gaza into an open-air prison.
Once 'tested' on Palestinians, EU investment comes full circle when the EU and its member states buy back the end product.#Palestine #Apartheid #Elbit #AIA #ArmsCompanies #EU #WhitePhosphorousBombs #ClusterBombs #ArmsTrade
