Clearly I don’t know zilch about mineral rights in Israel! LOL!

I listen to Michael Medved and I recalled a conversation he had last year with a caller who was complaining about Israel’s place in the world. The caller made the comment that Israel had “all this oil on top of taking away the home of the Palestinians”…Medved said that was not true, because Israel had signed away its rights after some conflict (don’t remember that part). I reckon I wasn’t paying close enough attention or just THOUGHT I heard something that wasn’t said. At any rate, after googling several Israel/oil/mineral rights topics, I was clearly misinformed.

There are significant oil reserves in the Sinai Peninsula, which Israel returned to Egypt (for the second time) as a result of the peace treaty in 1979. That's probably what Medved was commenting on.

I believe that the oil he was referring to were the oil wells in the last part of the Egyptian settlement. There were some oil wells there, just not a major find.

Thanks.

I was 99.5% certain but not 100% certain.
