In 1975, Kissinger signed the Haifa project: a Memorandum of Understanding whereby the US guarantees Israel's oil reserves and energy supply in times of crisis
|
22 years ago: the pipeline never happened because Syria was in the way but the guarantee remains solid even with the Strait of Hormuz closed.
| Did the guarantee happen, or was it just another piece of paper? Israel is now a national gas supplier rather than an importer, though they still need to import oil. |
[Guardian] Plans to build a pipeline to siphon oil from newly conquered Iraq to Israel are being discussed between Washington, Tel Aviv and potential future government figures in Baghdad.
The plan envisages the reconstruction of an old pipeline, inactive since the end of the British mandate in Palestine in 1948, when the flow from Iraq's northern oilfields to Palestine was re-directed to Syria.
Now, its resurrection would transform economic power in the region, bringing revenue to the new US-dominated Iraq, cutting out Syria and solving Israel's energy crisis at a stroke.
It would also create an end less and easily accessible source of cheap Iraqi oil for the US guaranteed by reliable allies other than Saudi Arabia - a keystone of US foreign policy for decades and especially since 11 September 2001.
Until 1948, the pipeline ran from the Kurdish-controlled city of Mosul to the Israeli port of Haifa, on its northern Mediterranean coast.
