Israel jittery about gas supply from Egypt

Israel is feeling just a bit worried over its natural gas contracts and uninterrupted supplies from Egypt.  When you have a group threatening to go to war with you should they take over the reigns of government, (as the Muslim Brotherhood have said), its time to look at other energy alternatives.

And low and behold, the God of miracles has seen fit to provide Israel with a whole host of natural gas reserves off its coastline.  The race is on now for Israel to get those fields into development.  Won't that just aggravate their green with envy Arab/Muslim neighbors?  Might be a good reason to go to war with Israel, and snatch up all those new found riches.  Guess what?  The prophet Ezekiel foresaw exactly that scenario.

Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?”’ Ezekiel 38:13 NIV

From the article:

An explosion at an Egyptian gas terminal that disrupted the supply of fuel to Israel had Israeli officials pressing Sunday to speed development of a natural gas deposit that they say can make Israel energy independent. Infrastructures Minister Uzi Landau wants the government to back loans so financing can be obtained to develop the Tamar field, off Israel's coast in the Mediterranean Sea, a spokesman said. Landau also favors exempting the field's developers from a proposed windfall tax. "We have to do everything to improve Israel's energy security," Landau told Israel Radio on Sunday. "It is Israel's obligation to remove as soon as possible every obstacle" to developing Tamar, he said.
