Israel’s
once hidden oil riches are now certain to be so large its
treasures could make it the richest oil country in the
world. And, its neighbors are not only noticing, they’re
boiling mad.
It
was just forty years ago when Golda Meir, the former prime
minister of Israel once famously quipped, “Why did
Moses lead us to the one place in the Middle East
without oil?”
Well
Prime Minister, Moses turned out to have a pretty good eye
for what a promised land might look like.
Since
oil was first discovered in the Middle East, Israel has
been cut off from the world’s exploration resources
because of its Arab neighbors. No major oil company would
dare explore there in fear of an Arab backlash. Over time
technologies in oil exploration have improved and
international experts have noticed Israel’s
potential...........
.......In
summary, we have a newly enriched Israel powerful enough
to completely change the geopolitics of the Middle East on
one side. On the other, we have Turkey, determined to cash
in – with force if necessary – to establish its own claim
to riches while Russia, with its impoverished Muslim
regional allies seeking attention. Then there’s
Persian-backed Lebanon, in need of development funding for
its significant rich fields just offshore of it’s own
border.
As
the old saying goes, “the best way to get attention is to
start a fight.”
And,
that’s exactly what will happen.
Maranatha!
