Natural gas supplies to Jordan and Israel were disrupted after a
huge explosion destroyed a section of the pipeline near Egyptian town of
Al-Arish in northern Sinai Peninsula on Tuesday.
There have several other similar attacks on Egypt-Jordan-Israel
gas pipelines in the past.
Both Israel and Jordan depend heavily on imported natural gas
from Egypt but according to analysts Israel is always willing to pay above
market price to purchase this valuable commodity as it's vital to its existence
at the time when busy breaking international norms on regular basis.
After the fall of Egyptian puppet President Hosni Mubarak
earlier this year, Tel Aviv and Washington lost one of their most subservient
pawns in the region.
Mubarak helped gas exports cheaply to Israel with a major part
of the revenue going directly into his own offshore bank accounts therefore
leaving Egyptian people out of this transaction altogether.
Since the fall of Mubarak regime, revolutionary forces have
targeted vital gas pipelines to Israel as a way of pressuring Tel Aviv to
respect international regulations and end the seize of Gaza immediately.
Egyptian security forces find and defuse a number of similar
explosive devices along the same pipeline regularly.
