of the formal announcement of the gaza guys field in 1900 former palestinian president yasser arafat described the new discovery as a gift from god to the palestinian people. palestinians actually found gas off their coast. years decades before israel has found its audience so the person has discovered gas and rain in 1990 and at the time the palestinian leader yasser arafat's viewed that as i went to change that could absolutely change the economy within the palestinian territories and that allowed their house and answer have energy independence and some form of sovereignty. so what to winter on. at one point yes or arafat had this vision of making gaza into a singapore rate i mean you could see how if if the gas could be produced and it could be exported and i do think it could be exported because there are many ellen g. plants nearby for example in egypt where this gas could be liquefied and then exported the way that israeli gas is going to be liquefied and exported the way that egyptian gas is already liquefied exported it would make a huge difference but it hasn't revenues from

have have gas that could make them energy rich and so if gaza was able to exploit its own gas which is just literally you know kilometers out from the coastline then maybe people in gaza wouldn't have to be intact. i am terminal miss hell or arabic and i'm asking why this gas has not been exploited for 20 years and why such a major story has received relatively little media attention. while we were making this film we obtained the comments exclusively that reveal the official and unofficial correspondence between the palestinian authority the be a and the other bodies involved in the negotiations over the gaza's guess. the geological surveys suggested that this guy was good equality under freo value and was within easy reach of gaza scores line. with. a woman. less than he heard. in 1906 eastern mediterranean countries were struggling to get hold of god as a toy. village palestinian engineer smile miss how was the 1st to suggest that gas under the sea but of gaza. l. mishan had years of oil and gas experience gained in libya qatar and iraq and conducted surveys into a potential gaza

it shows the authority of the waters of the coast of gaza and israel. since 1909 the palestinians have only been allowed to explore the small the green area area. istook or argues that the international maritime you know gives the palestinians that i took the border they're much bigger area and that. this potentially contains further gas fields which would be of huge benefit to the palestinians if they were allowed to exploit them. the mary b. field is an example of why it is important for the palestinians to take steps to declare an exclusive economic zone it isn't that could possibly allow it within the palestinian exclusive economic zone. however because the palestinians did not make a claim to it israel was able to start production and essentially deplete the field if the palestinians do not take steps to claim an easy it's possible that other areas of enormous economic value could be innocence claimed by israel. and once the resources are gone they're not coming back. coming from so many been. elected to mckinnon one could leave them on at the now

on gaza and why did the u.s. administration decide to cut funding to the united nations relief and works agency i know which is the only organization providing help to these people living on the host country is also not attending the back room conference in solidarity with the palestinians lebanese officials fear that the deal of the century of the so-called deal of the century will involve naturalizing and resettling palestinian refugees in the host country something that this country says it will not accept. right to iran which remains defiant after the u.s. faced new sanctions targeting its top leadership including the supreme leader ayatollah ali how many terror on says it will go ahead with his plan to reduce its commitment to the 2050 nuclear deal despite the increasing pressure from washington and the u.s. national security advisor john bolton he's warned that all options remain on the table if iran continues to spew its new clear ambitions. he has more now from the iranian capital tehran. in his 1st publi

so has more now from gaza city. before shouted coercion and stood up to deliver his opening remarks a speech had already been started by ishmael kindy a the leader of hamas the group that controls gaza he was making a very impassioned speech to a group of palestinian faction leaders here in gaza city and reiterating the point that palestinians have been making ever since details of this plan 1st came out a few days ago that there can be no economic solution to this situation until the political solution is found in his speech he describes the buckling conference as having been dead already because it carries the seeds of failure he said that the conference did not dictate the fate of palestinians now there was an interesting side note to this speech because he also held out an offer of unity to the leadership of the fatah political party and the fatah and hamas have been at loggerheads for about 13 years ever since hamas took over gaza but this was a saying to the leadership of fatah now is the time to come together

at one point yasser arafat had this vision of making gaza into a singapore rate i mean you could see how if if the gas could be produced and it could be exported and i do think it could be exported because there are many ellen g. plants nearby for example in egypt where this gas could be liquefied and then exported the way that israeli gas is going to be liquefied in exported the way that egyptian gas is already liquefied exported it would make a huge difference but it hasn't revenues from offshore oil and gas can be an important source of revenue for a future state of palestine they can help in its development by helping to fund infrastructure or to offset the government budget. guzzle of it is that only men in the us of the palestinian side saw what the solar energy this is. a deposit which was 4000000000. dollars so it's a lot of money not in one use but what's in them to 15 used the village moment in the life of the food the benefits could have been enormous look at the rest of the region look at qatar look at israel look at cyprus they've all discovered gas and they're all now s

poor state of gaza's economy removes the trolls and the economy. the people of gaza the important point is to find a political solution to this crisis i don't need them with the start talking about the money well as that bahrain conference was getting under way the un agency responsible for palestinian refugees was asking for more than a $1000000000.00 at its annual pledging conference in new york it's been struggling to cope since the white house cut $300000000.00 of funding last year she has returned she has more from the united nations. after the trumpet ministration cut off all funding for the un relief and works agency $42.00 countries stepped up and increased their share of funding in order to make up the shortfall this meeting in part is to remind and should be those donors to ensure that funding continues in 2019 what's fascinating about the timing of this is it does happen on the same day as gerard cushion his workshop in bahrain for the financial aspects of his deal of the century and the same arguments that were being used by gerard cush

so we now know there are at least 8 gas fields of gaza but no one knows the exact number. is there as currently takes all the guys available and then the national community appears to take no action. there is evidence that by 2012 israel extract it 42000000000 cubic meters from the muddy b. fields leaving it severely depleted that would have supplied the palestinians with enough gas for 15 years. in may 27th the center for a social multinational corporation saw more based in amsterdam published a report about the activities of noble in energy called beneath the troubled waters . noble in the regime is based in houston texas and is extensively involved in the development and exploration of israeli licensed off shore gas fields in the eastern mediterranean the report is extremely detailed but one of its conclusions is that the company has potentially contributed to a violation of the collective right of self-determination of palestinian actual gas was indeed drained from the board of field due to gas extraction from the noah field it could be argued that noble energy partici
