‘Surprisingly’ there is no agreement with Egypt on Gaza, but there is on gas
Egypt has agreed to increase the quantities of natural gas imported from Israel by about 26% to be estimated at 1.450 billion cubic feet per day during the first half of next year, according to a government official in Cairo
Currently, Egypt imports from Israel about 1.15 billion cubic feet per day. The quantities of Israeli gas supplied to Egypt today are higher than the levels before the war in Gaza. Egypt relies on Israeli gas to meet part of its domestic demand, with the surpluses being exported in the form of liquefied gas mainly to Europe, through the liquefaction plants in Idko and Damietta.
According to the Egyptian source, the increase in Egyptian imports will occur after the American Chevron company finishes increasing production from the Tamar gas field by about 60% during the first half of next year to 1.6 billion cubic feet per day.
