#3 By about mid 2014, Israel will have enough natural gas online from the Tamar and Liviathon fields to be able to sell some to Egypt.

That will be special.

#5 grom,

maybe they will break up into upper and lower Egypt again - like before the 1st dynasty

or maybe they will be overrun by Hyksos or Sea Peoples

whatever

#7 Garth, I would imagine that having the evil Jooooz selling natural gas to the Egyptians would cause heads to explode all around the Middle East. For that reason alone I favor it.

But I don't think it'll happen, because by 2014 I expect Egypt to have slid into anarchy, near genocide against the Copts, and (perhaps) a war with Israel.

#9 I'd love to have the Israel-to-Egypt gas pipeline repair business monopoly there. Job security and a guaranteed stream of income

#11 OK, Frank. I'll take the concession for medicine, ointments and antibiotics for major burns.
