For the sake of argument, would we need a modern navy to explore for gas in Gaza territorial waters? Just throwing it out there, what if Abbas told the Israelis that the Palestinian people would like to explore for gas in its designated waters using, let's say, the Italians for example. How could the Israelis object to that? Seems like a very legitimate right that should be pursued. The 6 nautical miles designated as Gaza coastal waters are well within its rights to explore for economic reasons. Shouldn't they at least try?
Let's imagine for a second that a miraculous 2-state solution is agreed upon; in light of that, this would be something Gaza is entitled to and would be doing anyway so why wait for that and start now?

This isn't that long, but it covers information on the field off the Gaza coast. And the legal issues around it.
