Egypt’s potential gas supplies to Jordan could threaten agreement with Israel

An Egyptian promise to supply Jordan with natural gas once it reaches a point where exports are possible “will pile pressure on the Jordanians not to sign a binding gas agreement with the Leviathan partners,” Nati Yefet writes in Globes. “Egypt's commitment to supply gas to Jordan even before Leviathan begins supplying gas is liable to increase the already strong pressure on the Jordanian royal house to neglect the agreement with Israel,” Yefet explains.
