This marks the first time Israel has secured a multi-decade energy export agreement of this magnitude ($35B) with a former adversary while actively engaged in regional conflict. The scale of the Leviathan field expansion (tripling output) and timing (amid Gaza tensions) represents an unprecedented level of economic cooperation that transcends political instability.
Israel-Egypt $35B Gas Deal: Leviathan Energy Alliance Grows
📰 What Happened
NewMed Energy has secured a landmark $35 billion deal to supply natural gas from Israel's Leviathan field to Egypt, with flows set to nearly triple by 2029 despite ongoing Gaza conflict. The agreement represents one of the largest energy partnerships between the two nations, with the NewMed chief executive describing it as a 'win-win' arrangement. The deal will significantly expand Israel's role as a major energy supplier in the region.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The integration of advanced gas extraction technologies at the Leviathan field enables precise control and distribution of energy resources at a scale unimaginable in biblical times. This $35B deal demonstrates how modern energy infrastructure creates economic bonds prophesied in Ezekiel 38:13 regarding valuable resources. The automated systems required to triple gas flows by 2029 showcase how digital control networks enable the type of regional economic integration described in end-times prophecies about Middle East alliances.
