PM Netanyahu Comments on Egyptian Gas Issue

(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Monday), 23.4.12, at a meeting with
Israel Bonds leaders
http://www.israelbonds.com/News/Delegations/delegation_highlights.aspx ,
made the following remarks about the issue of the supply of natural gas from
Egypt:

"We don't see this cutoff of the gas as something that is born out of
political developments. It's actually a business dispute between the Israeli
company and the Egyptian company.

But alongside that I have to say that we have, as I said, the reserves of
gas to make Israel totally energy independent, not only from Egypt but from
any other source, and to have Israel become one of the world's large
exporters of natural gas. So we're quite confident on that score."
