When it comes to natural gas, Israel has become a world power practically overnight.
The Tamar and Leviathan gas fields have enough natural gas to meet Israeli needs for more than half a century. A very respectable government commission spent many months struggling with the issue. They heard all the experts, read all the analyses, and eventually decided to split this resource almost 50-50, between internal use and export. The Tzemach Commission determined that 53% of Israeli gas discovered to date would be exported, while the remaining 47% would be kept for the Israeli market, thereby ensuring energy independence for the next 25 to 30 years.
