U.S. asked Israel for potential energy assist to Europe

It was part of a wider effort to prepare for a scenario where a war could lead Russia to cut natural gas supply to Europe.

When if Israel does supply gas to Europe. That will make Putin very upset with Israel.

If Syria is Russia's ally, why would it be strange that they'd have vested interest in stopping bombing of their ally?

I'm pretty sure we'd respond in kind if someone was attacking Israel.

Israel is not even in the top 40 producers of natural gas.

"In January 2014, the Oil & Gas Journal estimated Israel’s proved reserves of oil at 11.5 million barrels and its proved reserves of natural gas at 10.1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf). While neither figure places Israel in the top-40 globally, these totals are significantly higher than they were a few years ago."

They have found over 22 trillion cubic feet of Natural Gas and much more is unexplored. They could supply themselves and Europe's Natural Gas demand at 100% for 2 years or more currently. That information is also out of date I just used by 18 months.

5. United States – 12.9 trillion cubic metres​

The US holds a 6.5% share of global natural gas reserves, with proven resources of 12.9 tcm (455 trillion cubic feet).


Russia is home to the world’s largest natural gas reserves, with a total proved resource of 38 tcm (1,341 trillion cubic feet) according to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2020.

It is not even comparable to the USA much less Russia.

Didn't say it was. I said Israel could supply Europe's current natural gas demand and Israel's at 100% for two years with just one of the fields they have. They also say this same field will produce 500 million barrels of oil which isn't to bad.

According to the report, around 900 billion cubic meters of gas is already known to exist within Israel’s economic waters in the Mediterranean Sea.

Israel to start pumping gas from Leviathan, making country an energy powerhouse

Fuel flow expected to bring energy autonomy along with exports; but drop in global prices, environmental concerns, and Egypt's new massive natural gas reserves curb the enthusiasm

Both of these articles are old but useful.

Since Russia supplies 40% of European natural gas that's all Israel needs to supply.

Now my question. Why would Israel give up its 200+ years of energy independence,and sharpen the knife that would be used to slit its throat?

They unlike many countries still value being a state. They are doing what we should,watching out for their own interests.

Ukraine can happen in Israel too


"We all know: Ukraine could happen here and we would be on our own far more than Ukraine because even some of our best friends would blame us, soft-pedaling our enemies’ enmity, deeming our tragedy self-inflicted."
