Egypt's gas deal critiqued online as 'economic complicity' in Israel's war on Gaza
People online have taken to social media to express outrage over a record $35bn gas deal between Egypt and Israel, accusing Israel of economic complicity in Israel's war on Gaza. Marking the largest export deal in Israel's history, the agreement, announced on Thursday by Israeli energy company NewMed, will see a tripling of Egyptian gas imports from the Israeli Leviathan gas fields, accounting for 130 billion cubic metres (bcm) worth of gas that will be piped from the Israeli offshore field to Egypt through to 2040. Amid the war on Gaza, which several countries, as well as many international rights groups and experts now qualify as an act of genocide, Egypt's decision to import Israeli gas was termed "shameful" online. In the middle of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians, Egypt sign a $35 billion natural gas deal with Tel Aviv. Shameful. — Vijay Prashad (@vijayprashad) August 7, 2025 Many have also raised concerns over the rightful ownership of the gas resources, arguing that the deal amounts to theft since oil and gas resources in the Mediterranean Sea belonged to Palestinians before the establishment of the Israeli state and the unlawful expulsion of Palestinians in 1948. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters "The Egyptian government buys Palestinian gas from the Zionists at a time when they are slaughtering the owners of that gas!" Muhammad Al Shinqiti, author and associate professor of political ethics and history of religion at Hamad bin Khalifa University, posted on X. Former Egyptian MP Dr Hatem Azzam also questioned Israel's ownership of the gas field in a post on X, claiming the gas to be originally Egyptian gas "that was relinquished to the Israeli authority", since the field is located within "Egypt's Exclusive Economic Zone". Salma El Daly, TV presenter for Al Araby, criticised the Egyptian government for making itself dependent on Israel, which "has cut off supply to us multiple times during our greatest times of need, costing us billions and causing losses in electricity and industry". مصر توقع اتفاق بـ35 مليار دولار لاستيراد الغاز من إسرائيل،من عدونا الاستراتيجي،اللي وقف التصدير لنا أكتر من مرة في عزّ احتياجنا، وده كلّفنا مليارات وخسائر في الكهرباء والصناعة. إزاي نربط أمننا الطاقي بدولة مش ضامنين استقرارها ولا نواياها؟ ومجرمة، عدوة للإنسانية والحياة؟#غاز_مصر — Salma el Daly (@salmaeldaly) August 7, 2025 Egypt's record on Gaza While Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has repeatedly condemned Israel's actions in Gaza and labelled the forced displacement of Palestinians as "an injustice that we cannot take part in", the Egyptian government stands accused of aiding and abetting Netanyahu's siege on Gaza. Recently, Egyptian activists have faced harsh repressions for acts of solidarity with Gaza and criticism of Egypt's complicity. In July, two men who stormed the Ma'asara police station in Cairo in protest against Egypt's failure to open the Rafah crossing into Gaza to allow life-saving aid into the territory were forcibly disappeared. Last week, in the wake of a wave of protests in front of Egyptian embassies around the world, Egyptian activist Mohammad Abbas chained shut the gates of the Egyptian and Jordanian embassy in The Hague, Netherlands, as a symbolic gesture in solidarity with Palestinians. 'Egypt's regime was attacking the protests in front of Egyptian embassies around the world that accuse it of participating in the siege of Gaza… and was saying, 'We didn't betray, and we're not imposing a siege.' Suddenly, it goes and signs a gas supply deal with Israel worth $35 billion over 15 years - amid the genocide", Abbas wrote in a post on Facebook. The gas deal between Egypt and Israel, Abbas says, amounts to "economic participation in the genocide". Over 200 Palestinian children and adults in Gaza have died from starvation since Israel's onslaught on Gaza began in October 2023, and more than 60,000 Palestinians have been killed. The blockade on the Palestinian enclave has fluctuated in intensity. However, since 2 March, Israel has prevented all food and aid from reaching starving Palestinians. Very limited aid is being allowed in now after international outrage and people being killed by Israeli soldiers and mercenaries while seeking food.

Egypt signs record $35bn gas deal with Israel, paying 14 percent more for imports
Egypt has signed a record $35bn gas deal with Israel, almost tripling its gas imports from the Israeli Leviathan gas fields and marking the largest export deal in Israel's history. The deal, which was announced on Thursday by Israeli energy company NewMed, will see 130 billion cubic metres (bcm) worth of gas piped from the Leviathan offshore field to Egypt through to 2040. NewMed is one of three co-owners of the field, along with Israeli company Ratio and Chevron. It holds 45.34 percent of the gas reservoir. This is a significant expansion of an existing deal struck between Egypt and Israel in 2018, which has seen 4.5 bcm worth of gas delivered to Egypt annually - despite Israel repeatedly interrupting its supply since its onslaught on Gaza began in October 2023. The current agreement is set to expire at the end of the decade. The new deal will deepen Egypt's energy dependence on Israel, as Cairo steps up imports to address growing domestic demand amid a collapse in its own gas production over the last three years. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Egypt's gaping energy gaps over the previous two summers have seen rolling blackouts amid soaring temperatures, sparking public anger. The government has tried to plug the gap by boosting its liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, which are projected to soar to $19bn this year, up from $12bn in 2024. Israel currently supplies 15-20 percent of Egypt's gas consumption, according to the Joint Organisations Data Initative. NewMed CEO Yossi Abu hailed the agreement as a 'win-win deal' that would save Egypt a 'tremendous amount of money' compared to importing LNG. The gas is supplied via pipelines, making it cheaper than LNG imports, which need to be 'super-cooled' in order to be liquefied for transportation. But according to Mada Masr, under the new deal, Egypt will pay roughly $35m more per bcm, representing a 14.8 percent increase on the previous deal. A former Egyptian Petroleum Ministry official and a government source told Mada Masr last year that the two countries had been locked in months-long negotiations to boost the flow of Israeli gas to Egypt. They said that Egypt was likely to agree to paying a higher price for imports as Israeli gas is its cheapest alternative to address shortfalls in its supplies. 'No assurance' conditions will be met However, the implementation of the deal is contingent on the completion of pipelines and additional export infrastructure. The first stage of the agreement, which will see 20 bcm of gas piped to Egypt in early 2026, depends on the completion of a new pipeline to the Leviathan reservoir and the expansion of a pipeline running between Israeli port cities Ashdod and Ashkelon- a project that has been stalled by Israel's onslaught on Gaza. 'If Egypt is free, Gaza will be free,' says activist who locked Cairo embassy Read More » The second stage, which will see the flow of the remaining 110 bcm of gas to Egypt, hinges on the expansion of export infrastructure, including the construction of a new onshore pipeline from Israel to the Egyptian border at Nitzana, which has not commenced yet. A notice issued by NewMed on Thursday warned that there was 'no assurance' that these conditions will be met. The move comes amid mounting public anger over Cairo's alleged complicity in Israel's siege on Gaza, where nearly 200 Palestinians have died of Israeli-imposed starvation. In July, two men who stormed the Ma'asara police station in Cairo in protest of Egypt's failure to open the Rafah crossing into Gaza, to allow life-saving aid into the territory, were forcibly disappeared. This came shortly after a wave of protests the previous week outside Egyptian embassies in European capitals, sparked by activist Anas Habib in the Netherlands, who symbolically locked embassy gates to protest the Rafah closure. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has refuted the accusations. At a summit in Cairo this week, he condemned the 'shortcoming in the values of the international community in addressing crises' and dismissed allegations of Egypt's complicity in Israel's ongoing onslaught on Gaza, which has killed over 60,000 Palestinians, as 'strange talk'.

Jameel Motorsport on bridging racing and gaming at EWC 2025
When Munir Khoja, the Managing Director of Marketing Communications at Abdul Latif Jameel Motors, and the lead behind its Jameel Motorsport initiative, talks about the brand's presence at the Esports World Cup (EWC), he doesn't focus on products or race cars. He talks about building a bridge – a connection between the two racing worlds: the real and the digital. The EWC, currently taking place in Riyadh's Boulevard City, is the world's largest esports tournament, drawing global attention and local footfall as Saudi Arabia positions itself as a future hub for gaming and interactive entertainment. Within that context, Jameel Motorsport isn't just joining the party – it's helping define the experience. 'We are trying to be the bridge between the physical world and the digital world,' Khoja shares with Campaign Middle East. That bridge takes literal form at Jameel Motorsport Park, the brand's activation space at Riyadh's Boulevard City, where karting circuits sit next to gaming simulators and a new generation of Saudis are invited to connect with the thrill of motorsports – whether on the track or behind a screen. Jameel Motorsport's presence isn't just about tapping into gaming culture – it's about embedding the brand into Saudi Arabia's broader transformation. 'With the presence of Vision 2030 and all its strategic objectives and the programmes and opportunities that it has created gave us the better opportunity to engage with the youth and to find out the targeted audience throughout doing all of that,' says Khoja. His view is clear: motorsport is one of the most dynamic tools to reach, engage, and empower young Saudis. Jameel Motorsport's role, particularly at EWC, is to make that connection feel tangible. The brand isn't entering esports through a sponsorship badge – it's building an entire physical and digital environment that audiences can explore. From full-scale simulators to live karting, from remote-controlled cars to a full Toyota GR vehicle display, the activation is designed to meet fans at every level of interaction. 'We have remote-controlled cars, which are great for the youngest in the family. Then there's karting for anyone who is older enough to go on those karting,' he explains. In other words, the experience is designed to feel inclusive. 'It's a family-friendly environment where we're bringing everyone together.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Campaign Middle East (@campaignmiddleeast) That inclusivity is a continuation of the brand's decades-long efforts. Though Jameel Motorsport is a new division, it stems from Abdul Latif Jameel Motors' 28-year legacy in motorsport and youth development. 'We started supporting Saudi youth in motorsports more than 28 years ago, beginning with Abdullah Bakhashab, who used to race in rallies,' says Khoja, referring to Saudi Arabian World Rally Championship driver from the 90's. 'After that, we moved into racing schools, youth programmes, and domestic rallies across Saudi Arabia.' Over the years, this translated into more than just cars. Abdul Latif Jameel Motors became a regular presence in professional football through partnerships with the Saudi League. The cumulative effect of these efforts – from rally racing to grassroots initiatives – laid the groundwork for the brand's current esports engagement. According to Khoja, Jameel Motorsport's continued partnership with the Esports World Cup Foundation reflects a deeper ambition to support Saudi's growing interactive entertainment sector. He sees the initiative as aligned with the country's broader goals of becoming a global hub for esports while giving local talent new platforms to express themselves. The brand's storytelling also reaches beyond the walls of the main activation at the Riyadh Boulevard. Earlier this summer, Jameel Motorsport staged a late-night cinematic stunt at Riyadh Boulevard, transforming the symbolic heart of the EWC into a drift circuit. The film – which featured two Toyota Supras drifting through the empty venue in a video game-style sequence –blurred the line between simulation and reality, nodding to the exact crossover that defines the brand's current esports approach. Back on site, the activation includes merchandising, character appearances, and entertainment for all ages. 'People will see the brand present in all our activities,' says Khoja. 'We have a merchandise corner where fans can pick up branded t-shirts.' That also includes a partnership with Sega, which adds a touch of nostalgia and younger appeal. 'This year, we have partnered with Sega – so Sonic the Hedgehog is part of the booth experience. That brings in a completely new element.' The brand set up a Sonic Racing CrossWorlds-inspired karting track that lets visitors race in karts themed around Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. But ultimately, Khoja's focus isn't on nostalgia – it's on relevance. By merging real racing with interactive play, he sees Jameel Motorsport as not just showing up where young people are but shaping how they engage.
