Geologists and resources economists have confirmed that the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in Area C of the West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip, according to a recent UNCTAD study.
New discoveries of natural gas in the Levant Basin are in the range of 122 trillion cubic foot while recoverable oil is estimated at 1.7 billion barrels, according to the study, entitled The Economic Cost of Occupation for the Palestinian People: The Unrealized Oil and Natural Gas Potential.

Israel is stealing that oil and natural gas from Gaza, the West Bank and from Lebanon.
