Amr Moussa: Egyptian gas to Israel could resume — if it is willing to wait at the end of the line
Israel likes to see itself as an island of tranquility in an otherwise tumultuous region, but according to Amr Moussa, the former secretary-general of the Arab League who ran unsuccessfully in last months Egyptian presidential elections, its the government in Jerusalem that threatens the Middle Easts stability.
Still, while Moussa slammed Israels settlement expansions in an interview Tuesday, he called on the future Egyptian president to maintain the peace treaty with Israel. He also said Israel could again get gas supplies from Egypt
but only after the needs of all other would-be purchasers were met.
The refusal by the current Israeli government to make any move in any direction is so detrimental to the security and stability of the region. And it will not be that comfortable to the Israeli diplomacy for a long time, Moussa told The Times of Israel. We certainly need a Palestinian state. I am one of those who believe this is a must. Otherwise we wont get the stability that we need in the Middle East.
Speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum on the Middle East, North Africa and Eurasia, Moussa said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus settlement policy rendered a just solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict impossible and some day will have to be dealt with.
