<< The necessary licenses will be given. Israel is not about to turn away an American effort to find oil/gas that they have supported, and to their effort to build a pipeline to Europe. >>
If that is true, then what is the holdup? The license expired back on 1 February (almost 5 months ago). Why didn't Israel give them the necessary license before the expiration.
All of that evidence leads me to believe that there is no new license coming....
