This is a historic day for Israel," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Just days ago we started pumping [the] Leviathan [gas field].

"We have huge quantities there. This means a lot of money will come into the economy. That is good for peace because we have agreements with our Arab neighbours."

DEPA took the first step towards making East Med viable on Thursday by pledging to buy 2bcm of Israeli gas a year, which it feels it can sell on to European gas distributors.

DEPA is to buy the gas from Energean, another Greek company, which is developing nine Israeli gas fields.

"More pipelines, more entries of gas into the country, means more competition, and more competition means lower prices for the consumer," Energean CEO Mathios Rigas told Al Jazeera. "This is exactly what happened with our project in Israel … So both security of supply and competition will be coming through this pipeline."

Berry does not believe we are selling gas to Egypt and Jordan and now onwards to Cyrpus and Greece and then into Europe

I know you have a little bit of gas - topped up by what you're stealing from Gaza.

But you lied when you claimed that Israel had far more gas than Russia.

There's a price to be paid for being as dishonest as you are.

The guy is a criminal. Even under Israeli law.

And he's lying when he says he wants peace - he's already committed to "Eternal Conflict" the same as you committed yourself to in 2011.

i am not going to hold my breath!

Wow what an achievement! hope she is well.

MARCH 23, 2020 - A comet called Atlas is currently heading toward the sun, and it just might put on a really good show in a couple of months. Discovered last December by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert system in Hawaii (thus the name C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) for the comet), the comet has been growing much brighter than experts had predicted. If it manages to hold its shape as it moves nearer to the sun, it could grow brighter than Venus.
