Tamar field partners announced an investment in expanding production capacity to provide more gas to Egypt. This measure will have an impact on strengthening Tel Aviv’s relationship with Cairo, according to Calcalist, a website specializing in the Israeli economy.
This comes amid rising regional tension, as the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war against the Gaza Strip since last October. In order to provide natural gas to the Israeli local market - in light of the war - gas exports to Egypt were reduced by about 80%.
