There are seven offshore gas fields off the coast of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian
Territories (Leviathan, Tamar, Dalit, Gaza Marine (aka Marine 1), Noa (aka Marine
2), Mari B and Nir). Currently, only the Mari B and Tamar fields, controlled by Israel,
are being exploited. Marine 1/Gaza Marine lies entirely within the control of the
Palestinian Authority. Marine 2/Noa straddles the Gaza/Israeli maritime border and
so has been split on that basis into two fields: Noa South (under the control of the
Palestinian Authority) and Noa (under the control of Israel). This issue has been
discussed at EU level in the context of how to facilitate a sustainable and long-term
solution to the energy crisis in Gaza.
