“So, IF Turkey got a piece of the action from this pipeline, in your humble opinion, would it be approved?”
“If” being the biggest word. Turkey refused to get a “piece”. It wanted the pie.
The other big reason is the “Palestinian” lobby hates this. There are tons of articles saying this is “theft” from the Arabs and “fossil fuel imperialism” and other such nonsense.
It’s basically a collation of the greedy and the haters who interfered — with false claims of environmentalism.
Sounds like Israel needs to build a LNG terminal and start loading vessels.
Who else is capable of building a pipeline like this other than Chevron?
