‘The discovery of a gas field in Israeli waters means that Israel could soon be an energy exporting nation. Well, at least if it is able to secure the route for a pipeline through Syrian waters into Turkey.
New Eastern Outlook reports that, ‘Syrian president Assad refused to sign a proposed agreement that would allow a pipeline through Syria connecting Qatari gas to Turkey and onto European markets. Assad said this was to protect the interests of his Russian allies who are the main suppliers of gas to Europe.’
It is, therefore, incredibly unlikely that Assad would allow an Israeli pipeline through Syrian waters and into Turkey.’
