EU Signs Gas Deal With Israel, Egypt In Bid To Ditch Russia ( Pics) by Holiness2100: 5:24pm On Jun 15, 2022
SIGNED &SEALED: The tripartite agreement will allow ‘significant’ exports of Israeli gas to Europe for the first time.

The European Union, Israel and Egypt have signed a tripartite natural gas export deal as the bloc seeks to diversify away from Russian energy.

The deal, finalised on Wednesday at the East Mediterranean regional energy conference in Cairo, will allow “significant” exports of Israeli gas to Europe for the first time, the Israeli energy ministry said.

“What a special moment,” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said in a joint news conference alongside the Egyptian and Israeli energy ministers. “I very warmly welcome the signing of this historic agreement.”


Von der Leyen said on Twitter that the agreement would contribute to Europe’s energy security.

Last year, the EU imported roughly 40 percent of its gas from Russia. Countries have been struggling to reduce that dependency in order to sanction Russia over its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

The signing of the memorandum of understanding in a five-star Cairo hotel comes a day after von der Leyen and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi embarked on energy talks with Israeli foreign minister Yair Lapid.

“It is an outstanding step bringing our energy cooperation to the next level,” von der Leyen said on Tuesday while visiting Israel.

The EU Commission chief stressed that the memorandum of understanding would increase the bloc’s “independence,” glossing over its newly-found reliance on Cairo and Tel Aviv, which are both accused of grave human rights violations and war crimes.

Von der Leyen also praised a set of controversial agreements brokered by former US President Donald Trump normalising ties between Israel, the UAE and Bahrain.

Israeli gas will be brought via a pipeline to Egypt’s LNG terminal on the Mediterranean, where some will be liquefied and transported on tankers to European shores.

This is Prophetic and Historic at the same time.

For the First time , Israel is becoming a Major player and ally to Europe. One they can no longer underestimate and come against at every given opportunity.

Israel is officially becoming the Substitute for Russia in Gas export to Europe.
Russia understands this! Russia does not like this!
Gas and oil is the number 1 source of income to the Russian Federation.

Watch out Folks! The Prophet Ezekiel Prophecied over 2500 yrs ago, in Ezekiel 38 & 39 that in the last days, Israel will be Invaded for its Spoils! For its goodies! For its resources! In what the Bible calls " The GogMagog" Invasion!
Ladies and Gentlemen, behold Bible Prophecies taking shape before us

The Countdown towards the Russia Collation ( Gog Magog) Invasion of Israel officially begins today!!

If you yet to come into a Genuie and solid relationship with JESUS Christ, you are in a mess! You need to buckle up and run to JESUS Christ as we are living in the Last of the Last Moments. The Rapture can Happen anyday, anymoment now!
JESUS Christ is Coming Quickly ! Be Ready ooooo

German Economy Minister Habeck complains that restrictions on energy deliveries from Russia are political, not technical as Russia have cut off supplies through NS1 by 20%.

Meanwhile EU president in March, we will cut off Russia oil and gas before ending of 2022

June: Russia gas exports through NS1 have dropped by 40% due to delays in pipelines maintenance.

EU president today: Oh Russia is blackmailing us and want to destroy EU economy

You really got it sir! It is this hypocrisy of EU and the West that the Arabs have been complaining about and explains why the Arabs never joined the west in condemning Russia.

Al Jazeera has aired a few debates on this double standard when the West and EU turn a blind eye to same crime Isreal is committing against the Palestinians but want others to condemn Russia. It will not work if it does not promote justice.

Just few days ago, Isreal forces killed a defenceless US-Palestinian journalist, Shirleen Abu Akleh, while covering a protest and followed up by using batons on those carrying her coffin yet the West kept quiet and went on to now reward Isreal with a multibillion dollar gas contract.

Hmmm.EU is fishing in troubled waters.

I will be the least surprised if this plan fails. They should have opted for Nigerian gas instead.

Ukraine proposes to Gazprom to increase the transit of gas through its territory via the Ukrainian GTS against the backdrop of a decrease in gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream grin grin

So much Russia is killing us from Ukraine grin grin but when it’s come to Russia money, they want to have it.
Ukraine want EU to cut off Russia oil and gas yet same Ukraine can’t cut off Russia oil and gas passing through its territory because of money.
No be juju be that grin

1) India buys 18% of all total Russian crude exports since the war, up from just 1% pre-war

2) Russia becomes India’s 2nd biggest oil supplier, displacing Saudi Arabia

3) Russia earned €93b from energy exports during the war.
The revenue exceeds what Russia spends on the war
Demand for Russia oil and gas to Asia have skyrocket to extend that Japan still refused to cancel Russia-Japan oil and gas project as it is important for Japan economy

Egypt’s LNG facilities have a total capacity of around 16 billion cubic meters so, in the longer term, as more gas is produced, eastern Mediterranean countries would also need to build new LNG or pipeline infrastructure to support exports.

Our Darling country can do more than this if we have people that were willing since independence.
We have all it takes to be a great nation.
There is no reason to be in abject poverty in this country.
We are brilliant people.
Nigerians let's come together and make our nation move forward.

Na beg we beg una.

Peter Obi went to Egypt for solution on our power problem, people who haven't seen light in their neighbourhood for over a month were criticizing him. Now Europe is turning to the same Egypt for solution on their gas problem and all of them are silent.

Peter Obi...the man who saw tomorrow.

I see him becoming the next president of Nigeria.

This I have seen.

If not for the incompetent nincompoop called Buhari who was acclaimed to be a former Petroleum minister, hence a panacea to our petroleum sector, the deal would have been on the Nigerian table and we could have been the bride of the western nations, but this slowpoke destroyed the country further with his tribalism, nepotism and favouritism to the detriment of our society and economy. Buhari was a curse to Nigeria but thank God it is about to be lifted in coming months
