Egypt-Israel Gas Flow Resumes
(AFP) The flow of natural gas from Egypt to Israel has resumed after a cut of several months due to repeated militant attacks, Israel's National Infrastructure Ministry said on Sunday. Egypt's Sinai desert pipeline has been attacked by militants six times this year. Egypt supplies 43% of Israel's natural gas, which generates 40% of Israeli electricity. Egypt's Oil Minister Abdullah Ghurab said in early October that there would be "a large increase in the price" of its gas exports to Israel.
