New pipeline clears path for Israel’s biggest gas export deal with Egypt...

A new pipeline connection between Ashdod and Ashkelon has been established to enhance Israel's gas export capabilities to Egypt. This expansion will increase the export capacity of the Leviathan gas field by 43% as part of a significant $35 billion agreement aimed at boosting deliveries to the region.

The agreement reflects Israel's strategic move to strengthen its energy ties with Egypt and broaden its influence in the Eastern Mediterranean energy market. The increased capacity is expected to facilitate greater energy cooperation between the two nations.
