Israel could buy Palestinian gas

UK energy firm BG Group has confirmed it is in talks
to agree a contract to supply Palestinian gas to Israel.

BG discovered the Gaza Marine field, which is controlled
by the Palestinian Authority, off the coast of the Gaza
Strip in 2000.

Any deal would represent a landmark in Middle Eastern
relations, but BG said it would first require agreement
between both governments.

Israel has previously vowed never to buy gas from its
neighbour.

2. Or it'll just make it so Israel's providing the money

for the weapons that kill Israelis.
