Israel Approves Historic $35B Gas Deal with Egypt

The $35 billion deal with Egypt includes a 15-year supply from Leviathan, guarantees domestic market priority, and involves $5 billion infrastructure investment, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the largest natural gas export deal in Israel's history, valued at about 112 billion shekels , committing Israel to supply gas to Egypt over 15 years via Chevron, U.S. energy firm.
  • After months of delays and objections, final approval was stalled over pricing, domestic supply guarantees and diplomatic sensitivities until U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright canceled a visit, pushing Israel to act.
  • Officials project that state revenues will include NIS 58 billion for public coffers, with Israel receiving NIS 500 million in the first four years and infrastructure investment totaling 16 billion shekels .
  • The pact could ease tensions with Egypt and Netanyahu said it 'greatly strengthens Israel’s position as a regional energy power' while The White House said it would facilitate a Netanyahu–Sisi meeting if approved.
  • The pact would raise supplies to Egypt to 130 billion cubic metres, supply about 25% of Egypt's electricity grid, and include a 2032 safeguard letting the Petroleum Commissioner cut exports to meet domestic demand.
