Former Egyptian Minister: Egypt Does Not Import Gas from Any Foreign Party

Former Egyptian Petroleum Minister Osama Kamal told Al-Mayadeen that Egypt exports gas, and pumps it to Jordan, Syria, and ultimately Lebanon.

    Israeli media alleged that the gas that will be transported to Lebanon is "Israeli" 

Former Egyptian Petroleum Minister Osama Kamal stated to Al-Mayadeen that "Egypt is presently not importing gas from any party."

Kamal explained that given Egypt's strategic location and its special capabilities in gas liquefaction, it receives gas from regional parties and liquefies it for those who own the gas.

On the issue of transporting Egyptian gas to Lebanon, Kamal confirmed that there is a pure Egyptian gas network, which pumps gas through pipelines, including the pipeline from Egypt to Jordan and Syria, and on to Lebanon.

Earlier, Israeli media reported that the power generating gas that will be transported from Egypt to Lebanon is Israeli gas.

In August, the US ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea informed Lebanese President Michel Aoun of the US'  decision to “continue to assist Lebanon in importing electrical energy from Jordan through Syria.”

Shea indicated to Aoun that "the American side is making a great effort to accomplish these measures, and that the negotiations are underway with the World Bank to secure financing for the price of Egyptian gas, the repair and strengthening of electricity transmission lines, and the required maintenance of gas pipelines."

The energy Ministers of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon, also agreed in August to present an action plan and a timetable for implementing the transfer of Egyptian gas to Lebanon.
