News from Al-Madina: According to a news release from the office of Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, during a meeting with the prime minister of the Netherlands, Mark Route, in Tel Aviv today, Monday, Lapid predicted that “Israel will become an important gas resource for Europe in the near future.”
Yair Labid stressed that “Israel will sign the imminent Thursday the agreement to demarcate the maritime borders with Lebanon, which was negotiated under the auspices of the United States, which will pave the way for the exploitation of gas fields in the eastern Mediterranean. ”
The medium- and long-term need for green and renewable energy solutions must be jointly addressed, the Israeli prime minister emphasised.
Without elaborating on the requirements for signing the agreement’s text, press reports in the context mentioned “the likelihood of the upcoming Thursday in Ras al-Naqura” (southern Lebanon is on the border with Israel).
Israel and Lebanon declared earlier this month that they had reached an agreement to demarcate the maritime borders between the two neighbours and remove barriers to the average development of gas reserves after protracted negotiations that were inadvertently sponsored by the United States.
The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Line, visited Israel in June to promote an agreement to export natural gas across Egypt to reduce its dependence on fossil fuel imports from Russia, following the war in Ukraine.

Israel will soon be a significant supply of gas for Europe, according to Lapid.
