Draft:Oil and gas in Palestine

The Levant Basin potentially holds massive oil and gas reserves

The State of Palestine holds sizeable hydrocarbon reserves, including crude oil and natural gas. According to report released by the UNCTAD in 2019, the occupied Palestinian territories holds sizeable hydrocarbon reserves.

The gas exploration project of the government was interrupted during the 2000–2005 uprisings and 2006–2007 civil war. Years later the Palestinian Authority, after meeting with Hamas agreed to collaborate with Egypt and Israel to continue project. However the ongoing war have crashed the project again. Many used to believe that Israel's ongoing genocidal campaign and war in Gaza is to grab the country's oil and gas reserves.[1][2]

History

edit

Early discovery and industrial development

edit

The first discovery of oil reserves were done in 1912, when the country was under the Ottoman Empire's rule.[3] Joseph F. Hasskarl, an American engineer from Philadelphia went to Palestine in 1912. He found traces of oil across in the Jordan Valley and near the shores of the Dead Sea [3] However, the global business world was not expecting the Ottoman government to work on utilizing these oilfields. It is believed the Britisher's interests in oilfields across the region under the Ottoman rule, including Palestine fueled their colonialism.[4]
