Israel's Competition Authority Approves Major Gas Deal After Initial Cancellation

Israel's Competition Authority Approves Major Gas Deal After Initial Cancellation

Israel's Competition Authority has approved a major gas supply deal between the Leviathan field partners and Dalia Energy, reversing an earlier cancellation. The authority found the long-term contract and "take or pay" clause necessary for new power stations, though it blocked a restriction on Dalia selling surplus gas. The deal, set to begin in 2030, will supply 1.3 to 1.7 BCM of gas annually for 20 years to two new power plants. The ruling complicates the reasons cited by the Leviathan partners for canceling the agreement.

Namibian Doctor Recognizes ZAKA Volunteer, Cancels Autopsy for Israeli Traveler

A Namibian pathologist recognized ZAKA volunteer Yossi Landau during a video call, leading him to cancel an autopsy for a recently deceased Israeli traveler.

The doctor agreed to release the Israeli's body for burial in Israel without an autopsy due to their prior acquaintance and ZAKA's work respecting the dead.
