--- "I assume this is why the Biden administration stopped the proposed Israel pipeline going from the eastern Med to Egypt, Cyprus and Greece?"

An excellent catch. If the Middle East -- excepting the idiots of Hamas and grifters of the PA -- were to become energy "happy" through Israel's growth, only those dedicated to chaos and control globally would act against this. "Green" as an ideology is only political science playing "we care," when "we care" is about geopolitical control. The Democrats are the other poison in the Middle East, as I see it.

Israel developing their offshore oil would be a boon to all.

I do not believe the Israel Med deposits contain that much petroleum.

“Israel had 199 billion cubic meters (cu m) of proven reserves of natural gas as of the start of 2016. The country possesses negligible reserves of crude oil”

Discovered Production Estimated size
Noa North 1999[29] 2012 50 billion cubic feet
Mari-B 2000 2004 1 trillion cubic feet
Tamar 2009 2013 10.8 trillion cubic feet[14]
Dalit 2009 Not in production 700 billion cubic feet
Leviathan 2010 2019 22 trillion cubic feet
Dolphin 2011 Not in production 81.3 billion cubic feet[30]
Tanin 2012 Not in production 1.2–1.3 trillion cubic feet
Karish 2013 Not in production 2.3–3.6 trillion cubic feet

My post # 31 are of of Wikipedia.

They are a list of Israel Natural gas fields in the Eastern Med. Israel and Jordan formerly bought gas from Egypt. Now, Israel is supplying their own domestic gas and also selling to Jordan. They and Egypt want to set up a pipeline sending the gas to Egypt.

Israel has more natural gas than it can ever use in the next 100 years or more. They want to sell it. The countries of Europe need it. The question is WHY are WE(the USA) standing in the way of their pipeline?

I can only assume it is because the Biden/Obama folks have an piece of the action of a potential compeating pipeline through Turkey or Syria/Iran/Iraq.
