In the midst of the escalating crisis in Gaza, Egypt has finalized a major gas import deal with Israel, prompting a wave of criticism. The agreement, worth $35 billion, allows for a significant increase in the import of gas from Israel’s Leviathan gas fields by Egypt. This deal has raised ethical questions given the ongoing conflict and humanitarian concerns in the region.
Online, the agreement has been labeled as ‘shameful’ by many, especially considering the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza. Concerns have also been raised about the ownership of the gas resources.
