The EastMed line is designed to move gas from the eastern Mediterranean and intended to provide an alternative gas source for energy-hungry Europe. This natural gas exporting deal will strengthen the economy of the Hebrew state, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\nThe EastMed gas pipeline deal between Israel, Greece and Cyprus\nEastMed\u00a0pipeline deal is designed to move gas from the Eastern Mediterranean to continental Europe. When completed, it will be the longest underwater pipeline in the world. The construction of the project will cost $ 6.7 billion. There are some challenges facing the project, namely several technical difficulties such as crossing several deep trenches, crossing a fault line in the south of Crete where several earthquakes occur, and the obvious problem of funding.\nThe almost 2.000 kilometre long pipeline is to be completed in 2025 and will transfer up to 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year. EastMed pipeline will run from Israel\u2019s Levantine Basin offshore gas reserves to Cyprus, through the island of Crete and then to the Greek mainland, by passing Turkey. From there, the EastMed pipeline will continue overland to north-western Greece. Then, another underwater pipeline is planned to carry the gas from Greece to Italy and then onto other countries in southeast Europe. It is expected to supply around 10 % of the EU\u2019s natural gas need.\nIsrael\u2019s Surging Economy\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Hebrew state is set to become a \u201cpowerhouse in terms of energy\u201d with its offshore gas reserves. He added that they signed supply agreements with many neighbours, that will strengthen the Israeli economy and bolster regional stability. Israel\u2019s economy is booming, and these natural gas exporting deals will bring more revenue and more economic growth to the Jewish state.\nEastMed pipeline project will put billions of shekels per annum into state finances, stated Netanyahu. He also said that this money will be directed to investments in health, education, social services, infrastructure and things that will serve every citizen of the State. Netanyahu continued that \u201cThe goal of converting our energy from coal to gas will change the status of Israel\u201d. Indeed, Jewish state has historically been dependant on imports, but this is slowly changing. Israel is becoming an energy exporter for the first time in history and this will greatly strengthen the country\u2019s economy.\n","author":42,"featured_media":6526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5766,5751,2961,5760,5750,5759,5762],"location":[1021],"class_list":["post-28716","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-institutions","tag-mediterranean-exchanges","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-israel"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"Israel, Greece and Cyprus have signed a deal on January 2nd, for a pipeline designed to move gas from the eastern Mediterranean to Europe.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tel-aviv-Copy-2.png","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tel-aviv-Copy-2.png 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"La Gastronomie Fran\u00e7aise s\u2019invite en Isra\u00ebl jusqu\u2019au 13 f\u00e9vrier ! 1","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.69,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tel-aviv-Copy-2.png","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tel-aviv-Copy-2.png 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"La Gastronomie Fran\u00e7aise s\u2019invite en Isra\u00ebl jusqu\u2019au 13 f\u00e9vrier ! 1","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.69,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nIsrael : the economy booms amid EastMed pipeline deal - Ecomnews Med<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Israel has signed a deal with Greece and Cyprus on January 2nd in order to build an undersea natural gas pipeline.
