Amid reconciliation efforts, Palestine sets its eyes on Gaza gas field
The Palestinian Authority is deploying continuous efforts to begin excavation works in the Gaza Marine gas field off the coast of the Gaza Strip.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip under the Palestinian territorial waters in the eastern Mediterranean sea remains a prime focus of the Palestinian Authority (PA).
While the PA has tried to exploit natural gas in a step to strengthen the Palestinian economy through natural resources, the 10-year Fatah-Hamas division has undoubtedly obstructed these attempts. However, thanks to the Palestinian reconciliation efforts, the PA seems to be taking actions to extract natural gas from one of the gas fields off the coast of the Gaza Strip, known as the Gaza Marine gas field.
