ISRAEL TO THE RESCUE: As Europe aims to wean itself off Russian fossil fuel because of the Ukraine invasion, Israel hopes to help fill the gap with gas from its offshore reserves.

EU states remain divided on the time scale, but European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said the bloc hopes to phase out its dependency on Russian gas, oil and coal by 2027.

Israel could build one or more pipelines, potentially via Greece or Turkey, or increase the quantity of gas piped to Egypt to be liquified and shipped off, say officials and experts.

Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said after a recent visit to Athens that "the war in Ukraine stands to change the structure of the European and Middle Eastern energy market".

"We are also examining additional economic cooperation, with an emphasis on the energy market."

The Jewish state has worked for years to create gas export routes, with mixed results so far.

Turkey, whose ties with Israel have recently thawed after over a decade of rupture, has expressed new interest in a pipeline, and its energy minister is expected in Israel in the coming weeks.

During the years of diplomatic alienation from Turkey, Israel signed an accord with Greece and Cyprus in 2020 aiming to build the EastMed pipeline through those two countries from Israel to Europe.

Turkey opposed the project, and a senior US diplomat said last week it would be too expensive and take too long to build.

Energy Minister Karine Elharrar also hailed the potential for gas sales to Europe, telling the French Association of Defence Journalists that "we have the ability and we will try to do as much as we can".

REGIONAL ALLIANCES
With both Greece and its regional rival Turkey vying to be the conduit for the gas, Israel would have to tread carefully amid the regional alliances it wishes to uphold and strengthen.

Major gas finds in the eastern Mediterranean -- nearly 1,000 billion cubic meters (bcm) -- have in the past decade turned Israel from a natural gas importer into an exporter.

It now sells small quantities from its two major offshore fields, Leviathan and Tamar, to Egypt and Jordan.

Israel's domestic consumption over the next three decades would leave some 600 bcm available for export, said opposition lawmaker Yuval Steinitz, Israel's energy minister until last year.

Israel's Leviathan field, which would be the source for European exports, is operated by an Israeli-American consortium including NewMed Energy and US major Chevron.

NewMed Energy CEO Yossi Abu recently stated his ambition of "bringing Israeli gas to Europe and Asia".

Experts say Israel's current gas fields represent a third of potential reserves, but a means to sell future finds would be needed to encourage further exploration by private companies.

Europe's efforts to diversify gas imports began before the Ukraine war when it "experienced harsh weather and gas prices rose significantly," said Ganor, the energy ministry official.

Steinitz said a pipeline to Turkey would cost $1.5 billion and take two to three years to build.

Israel "could definitely be a serious factor in creating more independence and a wealth of energy sources for Europe," he said.

He said Israel could even export via Greece, Turkey and Egypt at the same time because "we have enough gas to export through the three channels".

Strategic alignment being made to boost their country revenue forever. That's how a leader thinks, they think of the future of their country. With EU seeking new partnership and touring gas producing nations for quick solution to their present quagmire, nations are signing new deals and realignment. No Nigeria or African leader has siezed the occasion to secure some trade deals or investment opportunities either with EU or Russia. None has sufficient for sight, sense or passion to see their country economy boom taking advantage of new alignment emerging from the war just the way china, India, Israel are doing to boost their revenue and economy in the long term. Later dem go run go Israel or India go borrow. Foolish person no supposed to rule millions of people

If one man own no spoil another one no go clear road the bible says the year king uzziah died isiah saw the lord but nigeria case na another one ,we suppose dey cash out woto woto for this war but no ..na nincompoop be our minister for petroleum and foreign affairs, bunch of mediocres.

The world gave Russia too much leverage over its oil and gas piece-of-shit....

It's time to make them know that they are disposeable

Israel

Good

Why not Nigeria. Can't we supply too.��

The Op and FTC are the same person.

Russia will be top gamers at the end.

All this is just to cause panic.

The EU was in Nigeria over the week to deal with Nigeria on gas supply to Europe. If our leaders are sharp we will tap into this opportunity

Imagine Nigerian Christians Association of Nigerian (CAN), supporting Israel against Palestine, forgetting that Palestinian christians are also suffering from the Apartheid regime of the Jews, just like the Muslims.
