The Egyptian state administrative court on Tuesday ordered the implementation of a previous ruling halting the exports of Egyptian natural gas to Israel at prices lower than that of international market.
The case was brought by former diplomat Ibrahim Yousry, who is the lawyer representing the Popular Campaign against the Export of Egyptian Gas to Israel. The suit aimed to cancel the decision of the Minister of Petroleum to export gas to Israel and to "protect the resources of the country," a campaign statement read.
The campaign believes that Egypt's natural gas would be better appropriated in local consumption. And now under the verdict, the government is obliged to stop exporting gas to Israel in Lower price.
