Egyptian Company Won't Restore Natural Gas to Israel
(JTA) An Egyptian company will not resume delivering natural gas to Israel as expected, one month after its pipeline was sabotaged. The East Mediterranean Gas consortium, which supplies 45% of the gas needed to produce Israel's electricity, has missed four promised deadlines to reinstate the gas supply since the pipeline was damaged in a terrorist explosion Feb. 5. The Israel Electric Company requested permission from Israel's Environmental Protection Ministry to use diesel and fuel oil to run power plants.
