Clearly I dont 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 Israels 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 (dont remember that part). I reckon I wasnt paying close enough attention or just THOUGHT I heard something that wasnt said. At any rate, after googling several Israel/oil/mineral rights topics, I was clearly misinformed.
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.
