Ben-Eliezer: Egypt gas deal cancellation ominous
Knesset Member Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, who signed the gas deal with Egypt during his term as infrastructure minister, told Ynet the deal's termination is yet another indication that a conflict between Israel and Cairo is possible.
He claimed the Egyptian energy companies could not have terminated the deal without the government's backing. "The decision is political. A private company cannot terminate a deal between countries," he said. (Attila Somfalvi)
