In 2001 Ariel Sharon stated unequivocally that "Israel would never buy gas from Palestine" intimating that Gaza's offshore gas reserves belong to Israel.

In May 2007, the Israeli Cabinet approved a proposal by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert "to buy gas from the Palestinian Authority." The proposed contract was for $4 billion, with profits of the order of $2 billion of which one billion was to go the Palestinians.

Tel Aviv, however, had no intention on sharing the revenues with Palestine.

The military occupation of Gaza is intent upon transferring the sovereignty of the gas fields to Israel in violation of international law.

I think the main reason is conquest of land and eviction or death of all Palestinians on that coveted land. Gas reserves would just be a good motivating factor too,, eh?

Remember, the US has a stake in the genocide too and they sure do have taste for sweet stolen foreign energy reserves too, don't they? .

Cap it with the fight to prove to be the most hawkish among the leaders for the upcoming election. Olmert might even get off his corruption charges if they take Gaza (and/or the gas).

Israel getting oil and gas from the Caspian Sea is another plan. With the surplus being sold to the Asian market.

[From the Caspian Sea. Through Georgia. Across Turkey. --- The BTC pipeline: Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. Then to Israel, the Israeli port of Askshelon].

[google it for more info]

Of course, Russia may have put a monkey wrench in this thousand mile pipeline when it kicked back the recent Georgian invasion into former Soviet territory.

Russia has no intention of letting it formerly owned Caspian Sea oil be stolen by the West and it's recent shut down and slow downs of oil/gas deliveries to Europe shows it knows how to control pipelines and oil/gas flow.

It's a pretty amazi...
