Not all that glitters is gold and not all that smells like oil is money. Israel has become an oil and gas producer, but one oil well, run by a firm whose CEO is ex-Chief of Staff Ashkenazi, is a bust.
Israel may have struck it rich twice – once with indications of oil off the southern coast and twice with the prospect of Hamas and Abbas fighting it out over probable claims to the Israeli discovery.
Additional natural gas, and possibly light oil have been found at the Yam 3 drill site, 16 kilometers off the coast of Ashdod, according to a report in Globes. It's not yet clear how much gas and oil has been found.
