Nikkei Asian Review interviews Global Energy Center Nonresident Senior Fellow Brenda Shaffer on Egypt’s gas field and the opportunities they offer Israel:
Brenda Shaffer, an international energy expert and professor at Georgetown University in Washington, who is currently on sabbatical from Israel’s University of Haifa, does not see the development as negative. In a recent interview with The Nikkei, Shaffer, who is also a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center in Washington, said the Egyptian gas find is an opportunity to promote regional cooperation and stability, one that will create incentives to foster growth in the Israeli gas sector while bringing benefits to local consumers.
