War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza's Offshore Gas Fields By Michel Chossudovsky-
Global Research, January 8, 2009
The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.
This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline.
British Gas (BG Group) and its partner, the Athens based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) owned by Lebanon's Sabbagh and Koury families, were granted oil and gas exploration rights in a 25 year agreement signed in November 1999 with the Palestinian Authority.
The rights to the offshore gas field are respectively British Gas (60 percent); Consolidated Contractors (CCC) (30 percent); and the Investment Fund of the Palestinian Authority (10 percent). (Haaretz, October 21, 2007).
The PA-BG-CCC agreement includes field development and the construction of a gas pipeline.(Middle East Economic Digest, Jan 5, 2001).
The BG licence covers the entire Gazan offshore marine area, which is contiguous to several Israeli offshore gas facilities. (See Map below). It should be noted that 60 percent of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine.
The BG Group drilled two wells in 2000: Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2. Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 trillion cubic feet, valued at approximately 4 billion dollars. These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine's gas reserves could be much larger!

Gaza's massive gas reserves blocked by Israel
The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.

Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 trillion cubic feet, valued at approximately 4 billion dollars. These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine's gas reserves could be much larger.
Who Owns the Gas Fields
The issue of sovereignty over Gaza's gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to Palestine.
The death of Yasser Arafat, the election of the Hamas government and the ruin of the Palestinian Authority have enabled Israel to establish de facto control over Gaza's offshore gas reserves.
British Gas (BG Group) has been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. In turn, the Hamas government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields.
The election of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2001 was a major turning point. Palestine's sovereignty over the offshore gas fields was challenged in the Israeli Supreme Court. Sharon stated unequivocally that Israel would never buy gas from Palestine intimating that Gaza's offshore gas reserves belong to Israel.
In 2003, Ariel Sharon, vetoed an initial deal, which would allow British Gas to supply Israel with natural gas from Gaza's offshore wells. (The Independent, August 19, 2003)
The election victory of Hamas in 2006 was conducive to the demise of the Palestinian Authority, which became confined to the West Bank, under the proxy regime of Mahmoud Abbas.
In 2006, British Gas was close to signing a deal to pump the gas to Egypt. (Times, May, 23, 2007). According to reports, British Prime Minister Tony Blair intervened on behalf of Israel with a view to shunting the agreement with Egypt.
The following year, in May 2007, the Israeli Cabinet approved a proposal by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to buy gas from the Palestinian Authority. The proposed contract was for $4 billion, with profits of the order of $2 billion of which one billion was to go the Palestinians.
Tel Aviv, however, had no intention on sharing the revenues with Palestine. An Israeli team of negotiators was set up by the Israeli Cabinet to thrash out a deal with the BG Group, bypassing both the Hamas government and the Palestinian Authority:
Israeli defence authorities want the Palestinians to be paid in goods and services and insist that no money go to the Hamas-controlled Government. (Ibid, emphasis added)
The objective was essentially to nullify the contract signed in 1999 between the BG Group and the Palestinian Authority under Yasser Arafat.
Under the proposed 2007 agreement with BG, Palestinian gas from Gaza's offshore wells was to be channeled by an undersea pipeline to the Israeli seaport of Ashkelon, thereby transferring control over the sale of the natural gas to Israel.
The deal fell through. The negotiations were suspended:
Mossad Chief Meir Dagan opposed the transaction on security grounds, that the proceeds would fund terror. (Member of Knesset Gilad Erdan, Address to the Knesset on The Intention of Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to Purchase Gas from the Palestinians When Payment Will Serve Hamas, March 1, 2006, quoted in Lt. Gen. (ret.) Moshe Yaalon, Does the Prospective Purchase of British Gas from Gaza's Coastal Waters Threaten Israel's National Security? Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, October 2007)
Israel's intent was to foreclose the possibility that royalties be paid to the Palestinians. In December 2007, The BG Group withdrew from the negotiations with Israel and in January 2008 they closed their office in Israel.

About Alon Shina
Alon Shina became the creative inspiration behind African Designs, in the Blue Shed Craft Market, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa. Originally from Israel, Alon fell in love with South Africa 15 years ago and decided to make this his home.
Even though his first store in the craft marked only consisted of a 4 square meter stand, Alon saw the bigger picture and had much bigger dreams. This dream quickly started to take shape and in no time African Designs was re-located to a prime location within the Blue Shed Craft Market - a professionally designed store which now contains a fully equipped workshop and employs a number of full time jewellers. Alon draws his design inspiration from different countries and cultures from around the world and travels extensively to constantly source the highest quality stones and materials for his masterpieces. During his travels, he also identified workshops in India, Mexico and Israel which he now sub-contracts, due to the age old wealth of experienced by these craftsmen in their trades, to assist him in the setting of his precious finds.
In 2009 Alon Shina also entered the International Market and is currently exhibiting at the famous Roseark Gallery in Hollywood, USA.
African Designs also enables Alon to contribute to a cause that is very close to his heart: The name Alon in his native tongue Hebrew, translates to Oak Tree and is therefore ironic that the Food and Trees for Africa Project is a project that Alon is very passionate about. For specific sales Alon donates trees to Food and Trees for Africa (FTFA) organisation, which they, in turn distributes to underprivileged communities or community projects. FTFA also educates these communities on how to care and maintain for these trees. For your custom design enquiries or to obtain a catalogue of pieces, please contact us at alon@africandesigns.co.za or on +27 (0)21 418 4536
Tel Aviv's Electric Garden
An old Tel Aviv neighborhood now being gentrified has become the unlikely heart of Israel's burgeoning alternative fashion industry.
It's one of Tel Aviv's oldest neighborhoods, but now Gan Hahashmal -- the Electric Garden -- so called for being Israel's first neighborhood to house a power plant, is famous for its alternative fashion boutiques.
There's an atmosphere of creativity in the neighborhood, says Idit Barak, owner of Delicatessen Boutique There are some artists' studios and fashion. It's not like Dizengoff [Boulevard] where the boutiques are glued back to back. There's a nice mix. Here it's more like a stroll in the city and you find all kinds of little places.
Gan Hahashmal is a prime place to view Bauhaus style buildings, many of them currently being renovated, along with an eclectic mix of trendy stores, cafes, hardware stores and shoemakers -- even a medical supply warehouse.
I choose to work here because it's an interesting place, a place that stimulates inspiration, says jewelry designer Hagar Satat (hagarsatat.com).
