not a legal case against anyone here. this is purely and simply an extortion order by the court against israel. they don't care about continued selling to israel, they care about increasing the price as "punishment" to israel. pure and simple law of greed. then against, since when do arabs honor any agreements they sign on? isn't their islamic religion telling them to lie and cheat when convenient? a farce of a court. a farce of a rulling and 100% arab machination. feh!
2. #1 - why 'punishment"? And not just wanting to up the price?

It's fair to assume that had the market price of gas fallen, Egypt wouldn't be open to renegotiating the price. Egypt have the gas only through an accident of geology, so it's all unearned revenue.
