Israel will work with Egypt and the Palestinian Authority to develop the Gaza Marine gas field, across from the Hamas-controlled coastal enclave. The announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office said the decision “emphasized Palestinian economic development and maintaining regional security stability.” Israel said the project will be advanced in cooperation with security agencies, in direct talks with Egypt and coordination with the PA and that Hamas will not receive any of the expected revenues. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke about the deal with Chen Herzog, chief economist at BDO Consulting. (Photo;Reuters)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
