An exercise in wasted time, paper, and breath. Those oil and gas fields soon will belong to Turkey, who may, if it sees fit, share some of the "action" with Lebanon and perhaps with a future Syrian regime.

This is a very fine achievement by the government and I think it will be very strengthening for Israel (and Cyprus as well).. Bravo, PM Netanyahu and Ministers!

not going to happen, dear. israel according to the un is the winner here as well as cyprus. no one is planning on taking anything away from this deal which is respectful of international maritime law. israel and cyprus are operating within maritime law, much to your chagrin. keep dreaming. israel will have 80 billion annually from this exploration and will become one of the leading exporters of natural gas and oil in the region, making israel wealthy beyond imagining. china has already signed a business deal with israel to build the red sea pipeline to europe because no one wants to depend on oil coming from unstable mid east countries. so, the pipeline is being planned right now with full chinese cooperation, money and funds as well as israeli funds. this will enable israel, according to the chinese government to have the oil and natural gas transported to china, india, usa, etc... via europe...who is dreaming of getting off the muslim arab oil yoke. this pipeline is also a response to future closures of the straits of hurmouz just in case the arabs/iranians decide to close it. as an answer, the chines and the west are making sure that the straits will not be necessary for oil and gas to travel to europe and from there to china and elsewhere. israel and china are planning to bypass hormouz and as a cautionary agenda, they are building this israel/chinese pipeline from the red sea. it will be more to your concerns to be very afraid that once this happend and israel is the supplier of lots of gas and oil, the arabs and their power will become obsolete and their influence on europe and asia in the un will be close to zero. israel wins again. but then again, you do not like it. well, sorry to disappoint you graczek. reality is against you or your opinions and facts. hameed aboughaze, iranian

They probably would be kicked out of NATO. They're not dumb enough to do that though so it's just a fantasy.

My Dear Gracszek, It is clear that as regards Israel,the Jews, you are an obsessive-compulsive. Please consult a psychiatrist who can provide you with anti obsessive psycho-tropic medications. Or better yet: GET LOST.

Grazcek, judging from his behavour I presume you are an adviser to Erdogen--when you are on leave from your mental institution and you are not taking your medication. You and Erdogan have a perfect mental fit. Greetings from your fellow Marylander
