He said that while the Oil Ministry does not have full details on the agreement, there\u2019s no in-principle objection. The transaction will help Egypt become a regional energy hub, the minister noted, adding that achieving self-sufficiency on natural gas does not mean the end of imports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talking point number two: The agreement will benefit the Egyptian economy, <\/strong>El Molla said. He explained that not only will natural gas importers pay the state to use its infrastructure for transport and distribution, but that imports will bring idle liquefaction plants back into service. The Israeli gas could serve both domestic demand and exports, he noted. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=A0DLTfx7sw4\">watch, runtime: 56:16<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talking point number three: The Natural Gas Act has opened the market up to the private sector<\/strong>, El Molla told Amr Adib on Kol Youm<strong>. <\/strong>The government has blessed the agreement but is not party to it, El Molla told a perturbed Adib, who was made anxious by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who he said implied in his speech yesterday that the agreement was struck between the governments of Israel and Egypt (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mki2OnPEzVQ\">watch, runtime: 25:22<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>El Molla also spoke to Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman El Hosary (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MeCf1RngbGY\">watch, runtime: 9:02<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The business community welcomed the agreement. <\/strong>The head of the Union of Egyptian Gas Investors, Mohamed Saad El Din, told Adib that importing gas from Israel will help turn Egypt into a hub for processing and liquefaction (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LWBtqp6TWxA\">watch, runtime: 3:27<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The agreement is expected to come into effect in 10-12 months\u2019 time,<\/strong> unnamed sources told Yahduth fi Masr\u2019s Sherif Amer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/543788642666113\/\">watch, runtime: 10:00<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Back on Hona Al Asema, <strong>Lamees spoke to former oil minister Osama Kamal, <\/strong>who had to downplay the notion that the import agreement is a back door to \u201cnormalization with Israel.\u201d Politics play no part in an agreement that is fundamentally good for the economy, Kamal added (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rsZY7QJKL9Q\">watch, runtime: 4:36<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re better and smarter than that, Lamees: <\/strong>Hadidi wondered whether Egyptians would be okay with using Israeli natural gas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the tinfoil hat, anti- \u201cnormalization\u201d camp, we have Rep. Mohamed Badrawy, who thinks not. <\/strong>An angry Badrawy said a pact of this size should not have been made with Israel, adding that it was unnecessary since Egypt is moving towards self-sufficiency. He said the House representatives are planning to submit an official inquiry to the government (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S0D5a8UsxJQ\">watch, runtime: 5:40<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile on Masaa DMC,<\/strong> El Hosary interviewed EGX deputy head Mohsen Adel (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OYnwNhfVQmY\">watch, runtime: 3:42<\/a>) and phoned Finance Minister Amr El Garhy to discuss IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde\u2019s most recent props for Egypt\u2019s progress on economic reform (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fc3J8_qdkzQ\">watch, runtime: 5:09<\/a>)<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"632796\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"632796\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/02\/20\/dolphinus-reportedly-signs-usd-15-bn-natural-gas-agreement-with-israel\/\">\r\n                            Dolphinus reportedly signs USD 15 bn natural gas agreement with Israel                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/02\/20\/dolphinus-reportedly-signs-usd-15-bn-natural-gas-agreement-with-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

We also love ice cream (who doesn\u2019t), a fact that makes this week\u2019s documentary selection all the more interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When it comes to Ben and Jerry\u2019s vs. H\u00e4agen-Dazs, we, the consumer, have our favorites and we stick to them.<\/strong> But little is known of the corporate battle that has taken place for the luxury ice-cream market. The Goliath of the story is H\u00e4agen-Dazs, which in 1984 (an ominous date) tried to use its weight to bully distributors from taking on Ben & Jerry\u2019s \u2014 an upstart ice cream bar founded by its eponymous hippie-nerd founders, who loved food. They fought back, using a mix of clever litigation and a brilliant marketing campaign targeting the Pillsbury Doughboy, the beloved mascot of behemoth food corporation and H\u00e4agen-Dazs parent Pillsbury. They\u2019re victory would be a business lesson on how the underdog can take on a giant corporation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But it doesn\u2019t end there. What happens when that same David becomes the new Goliath?<\/strong> You may be surprised who you wind up rooting for. This half-hour BBC documentary takes you through the ups and downs of the ice cream wars, exploring monopolies, consumer branding, and the power of marketing.
