Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael’s ministers had no idea about the discovery of the so-called largest-ever Mediterranean gas field off the Egyptian coast, says Economy Minister Aryeh Deri, calling it a serious intelligence failure.
Deri says that everyone in the Israeli government saw Egypt as a potential customer for its own newly discovered gas fields, the Maariv website reports.
The Italian energy company ENI announced Sunday the discovery of the natural gas field, saying it could fill Egyptian demands “for decades.”
