Talk:Natural gas in the Gaza Strip

Mostly relying on a single source
Currently the text of the article is mostly sourced from an essay of Social scientist Michael Shwartz, who offers some pretty dubious theories on Israeli alleged aspirations "to take over" Gazan gas reserves. This opinion has mostly been dismissed by most scholars, political scientists and energy experts due to the fact that Gazan gas resources are negligible compared with Israeli demand and hence even if Israeli would grab those - it wouldn't resolve its energy issues. the current article version is this a case of WP:FALSEBALANCE.

Much of the concept on development of Gaza gas fields should have involved either Israel or Egypt in order to purchase most of the gas and thus ensure funding to the development project, so the interest of Israel and Palestinian Authority as well as interest of Egypt and Palestinian Authority was pretty much bilateral. Until 2011, Egypt has had a surplus of gas supply and this made Israel the only export option for Gazan gas and hence the only possible option for Palestinian Authority was sales to Israel. Since ascendance of the Hamas in 2006-7 this option has become pretty unrealistic as Israelis refused to deal with Hamas and vice-versa.GreyShark (dibra) 05:32, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
