Natural gas began to flow into Israel over the weekend from a large offshore field, ending Israel’s status as a dry patch in an oil-rich region.
The flow came from the first of two enormous gas fields discovered off Israel’s coast in the past three years. The two fields, known as Tamar and Leviathan, are sufficient to supply Israel for 150 years, according to Bloomberg Business Week.
The Bank of Israel estimated that the flow this year from Tamar, the smaller of the two fields, would contribute one percent to Israel’s gross domestic product. Overall, the bank expects Israel’s economy to grow 3.8 percent this year.

Israel’s coast. You mean Palestine’s coast, realistically. So what percent will Palestine get?
75%?
I would agree with the article that it is Israel’s coast under UN charter and historical claims. However, if you can show me anywhere in history where the country of Palestine is located on a map, I may give your comment some consideration.
