Netanyahu's $35B Gas Deal: Another 'Win-Win' As Gaza Starves?
Netanyahu greenlights a $35 billion gas deal with Egypt, a 'breakthrough' according to the Financial Times. One might wonder if Gaza’s 2.2 million besieged residents, currently facing widespread dehydration and starvation, will see a single cubic foot of this lucrative energy flow. This deal, ostensibly about 'economic cooperation,' follows previous agreements where Israel sells gas to Egypt,
which is then often re-exported as LNG, conveniently sidestepping the humanitarian catastrophe just miles away. While Egyptian pipelines profit and Israeli coffers swell, the media barely pauses to comment on the morality of such transactions amidst alleged intentional famine in Gaza. It appears 'regional stability' now includes the controlled starvation of a civilian population, as long as gas
keeps flowing and deals keep dropping. How many billions does it take before someone asks about basic human rights?
