Egypt Seeks Cypriot Gas Amid Shortages, But Israeli Supply Remains Crucial
תורגם ותומצת מתוך The Jerusalem Post על ידי baba
Egypt is increasing its reliance on Israeli natural gas imports to combat a domestic shortage, while also seeking new supplies from Cyprus. The country has deepened cuts to gas for fertilizer producers due to rising LNG import costs. Despite political tensions, the gas trade between Egypt and Israel remains vital for both economies. Development of Cypriot gas fields, particularly Aphrodite, faces significant delays due to unresolved disputes with Israel and transportation cost disagreements.
