Netanyahu promotes Mediterranean natural gas pipeline in Greece
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in northern Greece to discuss plans to become a key supplier of European energy through an ambitious Mediterranean undersea natural gas pipeline project.
Netanyahu meets in Thessaloniki, Greece’s second largest city, with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, while Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades was also due to attend the talks.
More than 3,500 police officers are deployed for security around the city, which historically had a large Jewish community that was almost wiped out during the Nazi occupation in World War II.
Israel is hoping to export much of its newly discovered natural gas to Europe by a proposed undersea pipeline to Cyprus and Greece.
