Cyprus eyes pipeline that would link it with Israel

Cyprus is making a new push to cement energy ties with Israel, and there have been recent reports about a pipeline that would link Israel with Cyprus where gas will be liquefied and exported abroad to Europe. The idea comes as Eastern Mediterranean gas has seen renewed interest with Europe looking to wean itself off Russian energy. Both Israel and Egypt have emerged as net energy exporters, and Cyprus hopes to play a key role as well.
