Its not yours. It belongs to the Palestinians, the indigenous population of Palestine. Do not touch it. You will have to return it along with the land you stole. Israel is living on stolen land and borrowed time. tick tock tick tock.

This is, in a sense, old news; the formation is huge, and may well be an extension of the Sinai formation. Ultimately, total gas reserves there may represent about 1% of Proven world reserves.

But this may not necessarily be good news for either Israel or the Palestinians, as they are both extremely vulnerable to "Dutch Disease" in their current state.

Well. These are not yet quantities that can lead to any dutch decease. Israel may be able to export some bits but right now it's more about energy independence if at all.
