I am sure I read a while ago that there were pipeline projects both via Israel and Turkey?
If that were the case then I'd imagine, the combo of Russia, Turkey and Israel as gas suppliers to Europe would be about as diversified as possible to mitigate geo-political risks.
- curun1r 6y agoIIRC, neither Israel nor Turkey were going to be suppliers, but they were needed as part of proposed routes for the pipeline. The natural gas rich areas are in southern Iran and Qatar. Syria stopped the plan, and they said no to protect Russia's interests. And Assad is only still in power because he has Russian protection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar%E2%80%93Turkey_pipeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar%E2%80%93Turkey_pipeline
