Also my non-support of Israel doesn’t mean I support Hamas or the Muslims.
The gas field off the coast of Gaza contains less than 5% of Israel's reserves (ca 35 bn cm compared to more than 800 bn cm). Israel has been reluctant to allow development of the fields, but on June 18, 2023, Israel reversed its position, giving its preliminary consent to an agreement to develop the Gaza Marine between the PA and an Egyptian consortium, which includes the Egyptian state gas company EGAS. The important point to note here is that the owners of the field (according to the Oslo accords and the recent agreement) is the PA and not Hamas!
It goes against all logic that after 20 years of objection, Israel finally approved the development of the field, only to bomb Gaza four months later to take it over. It is more likely that this played a part in Hamas’s decision to attack Israel, since the agreement would make it harder in the long run for their leaders to extract wealth out of the economic aid pouring into Gaza.
As for the Ben Gurion canal it is an old US idea that lacks all economic feasibility. And given the developments in Yemen it is of no geopolitical use, since the choke-point is not the Suez Canal, but the outlet from the Red Sea. A possible rail line between Israeli and Saudi harbours is a much more rational project.
It is interesting that both “ideas” have been promoted on the net by the same persons: Hacen Soli, an Egyptian dentist, Egyptian MP Mustafa Bakri, CJ Werleman, an Australian Youtuber, and Richard Medhurst, who presents himself as a Syrian-British journalist; all denizens of the anti-semitic fever swamps. You may or may not be aware of this, but as the saying goes, go to bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.
