Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to help
energy-starved Italy transform into a regional energy hub during
his visit to the Italian capital on Friday, Trend reports citing
Xinhua.
After meeting with Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni,
Netanyahu said he wanted to increase natural gas exports to Europe
via Italy.
Such a move would be welcome in Italy, which has struggled to
replace natural gas imports from Russia.
Netanyahu and Meloni did not reveal the specifics of the import
scheme.
“Italy has said it wants to be a hub for the supply of energy to
Europe,” said Netanyahu. “We think exactly the same thing, and we
have gas reserves that we will start exporting, and we would like
to expedite more gas exports to Europe through Italy.”
