<p><a href="http://attendingtheworld.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/egypt-gas.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3898" title="Egypt Gas" src="https://attendingtheworld.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/egypt-gas.jpg?w=450&#038;h=300" alt="" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Huge flames erupt from an explosion at Egyptian gas pipeline supplying<br />
Israel and Jordan in El Arish, Egypt, February 05, 2011.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="divLead">The Egyptian gas  supply to Israel that has been  disrupted since a February 5 pipeline  explosion does not seem to be  restored at its full capacity any soon.</div>
<p>Egypt’s East Mediterranean Gas Company has informed Tel Aviv authorities of a leak in one of its pipes in the El Arish area.</p>
<p>The news of further delay comes as the resumption of the vital gas supplies to Israel was expected to happen on Monday.</p>
<p>The flow of Egyptian natural gas to Israel was halted five weeks ago   after an explosion in the Sinai pipeline at the peak of popular   protests against ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s regime — <span style="color:#ff0000;">which was  seen as Tel Aviv’s closest Mideast ally. </span></p>
<p>Meanwhile, experts speculate that once the gas supply is resumed,   Israel will not receive more than one-quarter of the quantity supplied   before the pipeline explosion.</p>
<p>Israeli authorities have estimated the damage caused to Tel Aviv’s economy by the absence of Egyptian gas at $1.7 million a day.</p>
<p>Egypt has been supplying 40 percent of Israel’s natural gas, used to produce 20 percent of Israel’s electricity, since May 2008.</p>
<p>The Egyptian opposition is openly against the gas deal signed between Cairo and Tel Aviv under Mubarak in 2005.</p>

<h6>ATW Comment:</h6>
<h6>Supplying the enemy of humanity and terrorist state of Israel is a  mistake. As these thugs continue to defy all international laws,  blockade Gaza, and now blockading Nablus while the settler degenerates  attack Palestinians, annex lands, ethnic cleanse and kill and massacre  civilians, Israel should not receive any gas from Egypt or any Arab  country! As the Israelis blockade Palestinians, Egypt must boycott  Israel and/or exporting anything to this thugs-infested country!</h6>
<h6>Egyptians and Jordanians should immediately nullify their so-called  “peace” treaties. If Israel wants peace they must begin by halting and  abolishing their Nazi-like conduct and withdrawing to 1967 borders.  Period.</h6>
