The coast of Israel has massive natural gas resources which have not been developed for a number of reasons with security concerns and and the threats of rockets from Gaza being a big reason.

Qatar and the Saudis Muslim Brotherhood conspired with Obama and Hillary Clinton to use ISIS to overthrow Assad in Syria and seize a route through Syria and Northern Iraq to build oil and natural gas pipelines trough the region to supply Europe and Turkey.

This sucked Russia into the conflict to prop up Assad to protect the Russian oil and gas business to Europe. This is also one of the reasons for the otherwise inexplicable split between the Democrats and their once beloved allies in Russia.

Turkey was able to use the Israeli destabilization of Syria and Hezbollah combines with Russia's distraction in Ukraine to takeover Syria and clear a path for a Muslim Brotherhood controlled gas pipeline from the Gulf States to supply Turkey and the EU with cheap natural gas and easily transported oil.

Trump is committed to turning the US into an energy super power with natural gas a the key component. .

US led developments of the Israeli offshore natural gas fields using Gaza as base would be a huge play to bring peace to Israel. They would also be a counter balance to the Muslim Brotherhoods and Turkey's desire to dominate the region

With the US owning and occupying Gaza the security concerns would be mitigated and the massive wealth and economic growth generated by energy developments in Israel would presumably bring enough prosperity to all of the people in Israel that they would prefer peace.

Even if Trump cannot pull this off, the negotiating leverage that it gives him is enormous.

Do you remember Israel and Greece wanted a natural gas pipeline to run into Europe?

That was a few years ago.

Then the Biden administration killed the deal:
