...Interior minister, health minister — Aryeh Deri. In two years, Deri will take over as finance minister as part of a rotation deal with Religious Zionism leader Bezalel Smotrich. He will also be a deputy prime minister for the entirety of the government’s term. Deri, leader of the ultra-Orthdox Shas party, has previously served as interior minister as well as holding other portfolios in a political career spanning 30 years. Earlier this year he was given a suspended sentence for tax offenses, his second conviction after having been sent to prison in 2000 for taking bribes during an earlier term as interior minister. His reappointment as a minister is facing a court challenge....
Who’s who in the new Netanyahu-led government
A look at the 30 ministers, just 5 of them women, in Israel’s 37th government from Likud and its far-right and ultra-Orthodox partners, and some of their newly created ministries

...Foreign minister — Eli Cohen. Cohen, who has served as economy minister and intelligence minister, was a surprise pick for the job, confirmed only minutes before Netanyahu announced it. He will serve in a rotation with Israel Katz, who had been the favorite for the post....
...Energy Minister — Israel Katz. Katz was a favorite for the position of foreign minister and stormed out of a meeting with Netanyahu on Wednesday after being informed he would have to share the post with Cohen and go second in the rotation. Instead, former foreign and finance minister Katz was appointed to head the Energy Ministry. Katz later relented and agreed to rotate with Cohen, although the specifics of the rotation were unclear....
...Environmental protection minister — Idit Silman. Silman entered the previous parliament as a member of the Yamina party, which led the outgoing government. She was instrumental in bringing down the Lapid-Bennett government when she quit the coalition in April this year, a step that deprived the ruling bloc of its majority and eventually led to the government’s collapse two months later. Then-opposition chairman Netanyahu subsequently gave Silman a reserved spot on his party’s slate....
...Agriculture minister — Avi Dichter. Dichter is a former head of the Shin Bet security service. He has previously been minister of internal security, and home front defense...
...Economy and industry minister — Nir Barkat. A former mayor of Jerusalem and successful tech entrepreneur, Barkat placed in the eighth spot on the Likud slate after the party’s August primary...
...Innovation, science and technology minister — Ofir Akunis. The lawmaker held the same ministry in 2015-2020. He has also been minister of labor, social affairs, and social services, and most recently minister for regional cooperation (2020-2021)....

....Eli Cohen (Likud) – foreign minister
Eli Cohen becomes foreign minister of Israel and after a year, he will swap with Yisrael Katz and become energy minister. After two years they will exchange again. Negotiations over who would take the position of foreign minister caused weeks of intrigue as Cohen vied with Ron Dermer, a former ambassador to the US, for the role. Cohen previously headed the economy and intelligence ministries under Netanyahu. He worked in business before joining Israel's parliament, the Knesset, in 2015....

Yisrael Katz is appointed energy minister and after a year, he will swap with Eli Cohen and become foreign minister. After two years they will exchange their positions again. Katz is a former foreign and finance minister. After a meeting with Netanyahu to negotiate his claim as foreign minister he reportedly stormed out the room refusing to rotate with Cohen. He conceded and eventually agreed with the setup....
I agree, they didn't hire him for a dry hole.
Horizontal drilling.
He could be the one.
My guesses are:
Jeffery Moskowitz
or
Frank Starr II
Each for their own resources and/or prior pathways to the present...

We'll soon see.
Israel's energy resources continue to grow. Even when they give some of it away.
As has their status in their neighborhood, along with their benevolent actions in their neighborhood.
Soon they'll be supplying to the people up north.
The only thing they're not yet self sufficient in is oil.
The only real question is when does that change...

Despite tensions, testing of gas pipeline
starts at Karish drilling site
Defense minister warns of ‘resolute’ response to any attack as proposed maritime deal flounders; ‘And if things develop into a broader conflict, we will take Lebanon apart’
By TOI staff Today, 12:33 pm
https://www.timesofisrael.com/despite-tensions-testing-of-gas-pipeline-starts-at-karish-drilling-site/
Gas drilling company Energean said Sunday that it had begun testing the pipeline of the Karish gas rig despite heightened tensions with Lebanon over the site as the sides continue to struggle to reach a maritime border deal.
“Energean is pleased to confirm an important step in the commissioning process of the FPSO Energean Power. Following approval received from Israeli Ministry of Energy to start certain testing procedures, the flow of gas from onshore to the FPSO has commenced,” Energean said
Hebrew media reports Saturday said Israel’s security establishment had also given the company the green light to start its tests and full operations could begin within weeks once tests are completed...
Also, Leviathon offshore gas field is
west of the Karish gas field/rig.

Israel has plenty of natural gas, and it is already being exported other nations, primarily in the middle east.
The deal Israel had going with Lebanon on the gas of this Karish gas field may be on the rocks now.

This deal was thought to be pretty much done a week ago.
Israel is still not self sufficient in the oil department though.
That's evidently what all the hoopla, or at least some of it, is all about.
Nice analogy!

An interesting thought...
Nordstream undersea
pipeline to Germany leaking and possibly sabotaged.
Pipeline runs from Russia SW in the sea, south of Sweden, to the northern coast of Germany.
Said to be difficult/unable to pump gas through the pipeline.

Yet.
I see where the CCP is to have it's annual meeting starting on October 16, 2022.
We should learn more as that date approaches/arrives.
Just another news update -
Still speculative, (of course) but India's media seems to be all over this.
Boom.......!
The gas pipeline will be built too.
Too bad for Europe this winter.
It's all rather unbelievable.
Yep. Me too.
Pretty amazing to watch...!

"Running On Thin Ice": OPEC Head Warns Of Oil Squeeze
https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/running-thin-ice-opec-head-warns-oil-squeeze

Crude oil prices have slumped to six-month lows, driven by a mounting wall of worries: US recession, China's zero-Covid policy and real estate sector implosion, Russian production recovering, US SPR releases, and the possibility of a nuclear agreement between Iran, the EU, and the US that could unleash new supplies into global markets.
On Wednesday morning, the October contract of Brent on the Intercontinental Exchange tagged a six-month low of $91.58 a barrel while the new head of OPEC offered a sobering reality that global oil markets face an increased risk of a supply squeeze due to declining spare production capacity.
OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al-Ghais sat down with Bloomberg Television and said speculation fears over slowing consumption in China and the rest of the world had been greatly exaggerated.
Al-Ghais said producers in OPEC are nearing the upper limits of additional supplies they can deliver to the market:
"We are running on thin ice, if I may use that term, because spare capacity is becoming scarce. The likelihood of a squeeze is there."
None of this should come as a surprise to readers, as we pointed out in June that WSJ's energy correspondent Summer Said that Saudi Arabia's production stands around 10.5 million bpd and has a production capacity ceiling of 12 million bpd. That means the potential output increase is only 1.5 million bpd. And another million bpd in five years. In other words, the Kingdom's ability to increase spare capacity appears limited.
And here's where things get interesting: Al-Ghais remains confident global oil demand will increase by 3 million barrels per day as China reopens from Covid-related lockdowns.
"China is still a source of phenomenal growth," he said. "We haven't seen China open up exactly -- there's a strict Covid Zero policy -- I think that will have an impact when China gets back to full steam."
As explained by the OPEC head, the reason for a production capacity ceiling is that "chronic underinvestment for several years is really what's taken us to where we are today."
On the subject of additional flows from Iran, he said that as long as they are released orderly, global oil demand will absorb those supplies.
Ahead of the next OPEC+ meeting on Sept. 5, Al-Ghais said it's still too early what the 23-nation group will agree on:
"We've demonstrated time and time again in the past that we're willing to do whatever it takes to do what the market really requires," Al-Ghais said.
So the takeaway here is more confirmation that spare production capacity and rising global fossil fuel demand could squeeze markets when China reopens...
Thanks, Doc.
I didn't know the strike had been so extensive.
