This picture shows the distances of the discovered gas fields from Egypt, Cyprus and Israel. Note that the southern tip of Cyprus, the Akrotiri peninsula, is British, and therefore does not count distances or demarcate the border if Egypt was forced to do so..
220 trillion cubic meters to operate 5840 power plants stolen by Israel from Egypt.
Abul-Ela: We have documents proving our rights in the fields worth $700 billion dollars.
Badran: Egyptian disregard for the demarcation of the maritime border wasted $400 billion dollars.
Three natural gas fields located in the eastern Mediterranean region on Egypt's territorial sea border could have achieved much for the Egyptian economy because of its gas reserves estimated at about 220 trillion cubic meters, had it not been for the previous Egyptian regimes to let the Zionist entity exercise the process of bullying to puts it hand on that vast wealth.
220 Trillion cubic meters was enough to change life on the land of Egypt, and make it a rich country, especially if we know that Egypt produces 2.5 billion cubic meters, 60% of which is consumed by power plants to produce electricity, the equivalent of 1.5 billion cubic meters, meaning that the Egyptian gas in the eastern Mediterranean can cover 146 times the energy produced by Egypt, capable of producing 3.4 million megawatts.
Israel, which imports Egyptian gas "dirt cheap" began to promote and publicise for itself in the world that it will become a major exporter of natural gas over the next few years in Asia and the Middle East as a whole, and it will be the largest competitor to Egypt in the export of natural gas, after it was begging gas from Egypt at the lowest prices, Yossi Abu, CEO of Delek, which is responsible for prospecting in the field of Feftian, announced that by 2017 Israel will export natural gas to Egypt and Jordan and that the field is the largest discovery of natural gas in the modern century.
"Samson, Levithian and Aphrodite. "As we have said, Egyptian fields are found in a huge lake of natural gas, located within the territorial sea borders of six countries: Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, Lebanon, Egypt and Israel.
So where are the Egyptian rights in these fields? And how the Egyptian regimes allowed the theft of more than $700 billion dollars over the last ten years only, and who will demand the right of the Egyptian people for those billions that would certainly change life in the country..
Where do the fields fall?
It is the largest natural gas field in the Mediterranean, 150 kilometers north of Damietta in the southern slope of Mount Eratosthenes, and is located in the exclusive economic zone of Egypt, It was discovered by Israel in June 2010, 200 km west of Haifa at a depth of 1500 meters in Mount Eratosthenes, a region rich in hydrocarbons and one of the richest regions in the world with natural gas.
The offshore Samson field, estimated at 3.5 trillion cubic feet, is located 1,000 meters below sea level, south of Fayyadan, making it 114 kilometers north of Damietta and 237 kilometers west of Haifa.
What is worse is that Israel has taken note of the importance of the fields it is plundering from Egypt and has worked to secure it through a range of defense and security means, foremost of which is the deployment of the defense system "David slingshot" all along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea against any potential anti-ship missiles or boats carrying explosives. Also some Military operations in Cyprus until 2016 with a view to protect the fields.
At the beginning, Dr. Ramadan Abu El-Ela, an expert and professor of oil engineering at Suez Canal University and chairman of the People's Committee for the Defense of Egypt's Petroleum Rights, confirmed that the field of levithian is a point in the sea of a whole area floating on a sea of gas fields belonging to the Egyptian territorial waters. These fields amount to $700 billion dollars, according to estimates by the US Geological Survey.
He added that he has many documents proving the eligibility of Egypt in fields that are looted by Israel, which covers an area of 83 thousand square kilometers with a reserve of 220 trillion cubic feet of gas and about 4-6 billion barrels of crude oil, adding that Egypt was preoccupied with internal issues and neglected the file Of the most important issues of national security, pointing out at the same time that there is a failure and a severe shortcoming by successive Egyptian governments.
He stressed that the time has come for the current Egyptian government to search for its lost rights in the gas fields, adding that it has submitted reports and evidence to the concerned parties and sovereign and the High Commission for the demarcation of the border, which proves Egypt's eligibility in the fields occupied by Israel.
Billions wasted
Zahran pointed out that Egypt should now go to the Security Council and ask the United Nations to decide on the eligibility of Egypt to the gas fields without going to war or disputes, adding that there are proceedings before the Administrative Court to seek the eligibility of Egypt in the fields, noting at the same time that the issue of gas import from Israel is a disaster and a scandal by all standards due to the weakness and political collapse witnessed by Egypt, which contributed to the loss of our rights in the fields and then we go to Israel and get gas from them.
Suspicious agreements
For his part, Ambassador Ibrahim Yusri, Assistant Foreign Minister and Director of the Department of International Law and International Treaties, and coordinator of the campaign "No to sell gas to the Zionist entity", said that the fields acquired by Israel are purely Egyptian fields, adding that the agreement signed by Egypt in 2004 under the auspices of Suzanne Mubarak was A convention of theft, desecration and contravention of United Nations law and article 74 of the law of the sea, ignoring Egypt's rights to economic waters and the rights of riparian and opposite States in the waters of the Mediterranean.
He added that the Egyptian government is very lenient and too soft about this important issue, which affects Egypt's national security in the first place. He pointed out that he submitted many reports and documents to Major General Amr Suleiman to prove Egypt's right to the fields. The demarcation of the economic borders and the exploitation of the looted fields by Israel.
Yusri said that there is considerable negligence by the Ministry of Petroleum by recognizing that the fields belong to Israel, adding that it is not ruled out that there are personal interests pursued by the Ministry of Petroleum against the file of theft of Egyptian gas fields, and called on the Egyptian government to act quickly in international forums to restore the looted Egyptian rights.

Note that since than, Egypt has discovered other important Gas fields that allow it not to import gas from anyone.. so here goes the strategic wish by Usrael to export natural Gas to Egypt that would have given it an important card to play against Egypt anytime it wished..
The government has changed since then..so let's wait and see if Egypt will claim its part of those huge fields also..
