This figure does not account for the huge opportunity cost of preventing the Palestinian people from using their natural gas field off the shores of Gaza.</p><p>"The 1995 Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WestBank</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaStrip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GazaStrip</span></a>, known as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OsloII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OsloII</span></a> Accord, gave the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PalestinianAuthority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PalestinianAuthority</span></a> (PA) maritime jurisdiction over its waters up to 20 nautical miles from the coast. The PA signed a 25-year contract for gas exploration with the#BritishGas Group in 1999, and a large gas field, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaMarine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GazaMarine</span></a>, was discovered at 17 to 21 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza the same year. However, despite initial discussions between the Israeli government, the PA and British Gas on the sale of gas from this field and the provision of much-needed revenue to the occupied Palestinian territories, the Palestinians have not realised any benefits.</p><p>"Since the blockade of Gaza in 2007, the Israeli government has established de facto control over Gaza’s offshore natural gas reserves. The contractor, British Gas, has since been dealing with the Israeli government, effectively bypassing the Palestinian government regarding exploration and development rights.</p><p>"Israel has also taken control of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Meged" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Meged</span></a> oil and natural gas field, located inside the occupied <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WestBank</span></a>.

Further exploration by BG through two successful wells — Gaza Marine 1 and Gaza Marine 2 — determined the field could contain up to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. (EgyptOil-Gas.com, April 5, 2018)</p><p>"The Palestinian Authority was 'granted' the right to exercise sovereignty over its own maritime territory by the Oslo Accords in 1995. Four years later, following the findings of the offshore natural gas, the PA gave the international consortium BG a 25-year, 90% stake in a license to explore, develop any discovered fields, and install the required infrastructure. Since that time Israel has consistently blocked this development.</p><p>"In 2002, the PA approved BG’s proposals to construct a pipeline to a processing facility in Gaza. However, the Israeli state delayed this development, arguing that the pipeline should run to an Israeli-controlled port, and that Palestinians would have to supply Gaza Marine surplus fuel to Israel at far below market price.</p><p>"When Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections in Gaza in 2007, Israel established a militarized naval blockade, prohibiting further offshore development. Around the same time, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/YamThetis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>YamThetis</span></a>, an Israeli gas consortium, challenged the awarding of the contract to BG, further delaying the process.</p><p>"In December 2008, in total contravention of international laws, Israel declared sovereignty over the Gaza Marine area, and BG closed its offices in Tel Aviv.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RoyalDutchShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RoyalDutchShell</span></a> bought out BG’s interests in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaMarineFields" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GazaMarineFields</span></a> for $52 million in 2016. By March 2018, Royal Dutch Shell backed out of their investment, leaving the PA to search for a replacement company to develop the field.
