I am aware of no ‘palestinian’ arab sovereign rights to any oil or gas resources in the Mediterranean

also, per the accords I have seen, the IDF Navy retains full rights to patrol and interdict .... in all 3 “zones” in that region

I’m ready to stand corrected but unless I’m missing something, this accord cannot grant Russia any drilling rights since the palie arabs don’t have any such rights in the first place, to sell or lease or franchise out.

if the Russians really want to drill there, they’d better cut a deal with Israel

Abbas got his college degree from Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. His dissertation was on “The secret relationship between Zionism and Nazism.”
