However, these relations remain limited and discreet, as the majority of Egyptian\u2019s opinion is opposed to the normalisation of these links with Israel before any resolution of the conflict between the Hebrew State and the Palestinian Authority.\nAccording to the Israeli Ministry of Energy, the Egyptian government has invited Yuval Steinitz to participate in a conference on natural gas, an energy source that has recently become a major economic and strategic issue in the eastern Mediterranean with new discoveries in Egypt, Greece and Israel.\nEgyptian army is \u201cworking with Israel\u201d against terrorists in northern Sinai\n&#8220;You have here for the first time, a real economic cooperation between the states of the axis of peace,&#8221; Yuval Steinitz told Israeli army radio before his departure for Cairo.\nIsraeli ministers&#8217; visits to Egypt are rare (the last one took place in January 2017, when Social Equality Minister Gila Gamliel was invited to participate in a Mediterranean conference on gender equality).\nIn an interview broadcasted on January 6th \u00a0by the American channel CBS, Egyptian President Abdelfatah Al Sisi revealed that his army was working with Israel against terrorists in northern Sinai. Egypt has recently concluded various gas agreements with its neighbours.\nLast February, the Egyptian and Israeli governments signed an agreement to transfer natural gas from the Israeli Tamar and Leviathan fields to Egyptian territory. &#8220;Yuval Steinitz&#8217;s invitation to the conference in Egypt is a positive consequence of the gas agreement&#8221;, a source close to the Israeli official stated.\n","author":42,"featured_media":5616,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5766,5751,5759],"location":[5600,1021],"class_list":["post-28422","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-politics","location-egypt","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz made an exceptional trip to the Egyptian capital Cairo on Sunday to take part in a conference on natural gas, airport sources announced.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/egypte_israel-1.png","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/egypte_israel-1.png 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"The Israeli Energy Minister visits Egypt for a conference in Cairo 1","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.33,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/egypte_israel-1.png","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/egypte_israel-1.png 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"The Israeli Energy Minister visits Egypt for a conference in Cairo 1","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.33,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
