The rise of the Zionist regime to steal Gaza’s oil and gas resources

according to the international group Tasnim news agency, while Nearly 7 months have passed since Israel’s war with the resistance groups in the Gaza Strip, and all eyes are on vital and strategic issues, including the end of the war, the state of the administration of Gaza after the war, the widespread destruction of Gaza and the reconstruction process, and the dire need of the people of Gaza for humanitarian aid and The food is cooked, the Arab News website has announced the greed of the Zionist regime towards the gas resources available on the coast of Gaza.

In this regard, this website So far, Tel Aviv has granted 12 permits for gas exploration off the coast of Gaza to six domestic and foreign companies. Among the companies receiving permits for gas exploration in Gaza are the Italian energy company Eni, British Petroleum, Dana Petroleum and a subsidiary of the South Korean National Oil Company – and the Israeli company Ratio Petroleum.

The story started at the end of October 2023 (the first half of Aban 1402), that is, only three weeks after the start of the Al-Aqsa storm operation and the Zionist regime’s attack on the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Energy The Zionist regime announced the granting of new concessions for exploration operations to some companies that were located within the Palestinian maritime borders around the Gaza Strip according to international law.

The areas for which the Israeli cabinet has so far granted exploration permits to gas companies are the so-called G area, adjacent to the Gaza coast, 62% of which is inside the Palestinian maritime borders, and the H and E area. , of which 73% and 5% are located within the Palestinian maritime borders, respectively. Of course, it should be emphasized that this zoning was done according to the international agreements of Slovi 1 and 2 and Madrid, and in fact, other gas fields that the Zionist regime is exploiting also belong to the Palestinians.

Miriam Azam, an international consultant at the Justice Legal Center, says this time: “The fact that Israel continues to operate by granting these permits shows a complete disregard for the laws.” It is international.”

The Zionist regime has no right to issue a license on the Palestinian coast, and this right is solely at the disposal of the Palestinian nation. But the occupiers, who have a military presence in many areas of Gaza after the ground attack on Gaza, have denied the people of Gaza access to their resources. The Zionist regime has even violated the agreements contained in the Oslo compromise agreement, which provides an area of ​​20 nautical miles for Gaza.

In this regard, some analysts believe that basically one of the objectives of the Zionist regime’s attack on the Gaza Strip is to It was one of the gas resources available on the shores of this narrow strip.
