great potential opportunities for both countries\u201d Cohen said.<br \/>\n\u201cConnecting the electricity cable from Israel to Europe through Cyprus <strong>strengthens Israel\u2019s position in the region<\/strong>, has a valuable contribution to Israel\u2019s energy independence, and addresses the European need to diversify energy sources in the midst of the energy crisis\u201d.<br

the meeting,\u00a0the ministers discussed the issue of cooperation in the field of energy, which holds great potential for both countries.<br \/>\nThey also agreed to strengthen the regional alliance between the two countries and to continue promoting joint energy projects, including the construction of the submarine electric cable that will connect Israel to Cyprus and from there to Europe (Great Sea Interconnector) and which will be promoted as a top priority this year.<br \/>\nPapanastasiou and\u00a0Cohen discussed various initiatives for the development of natural gas transmission infrastructure in the Eastern Mediterranean, including the Cyprus Gateway initiative to transfer Israeli and regional natural gas through Cyprus to Europe.<br \/>\nBoth ministers underlined the need to <strong>swiftly move forward in finding a solution<\/strong> over the cross-border natural gas reservoir of Aphrodite \u2013 Ishai.<br \/>\nPrior to the meeting, the ministers toured the Reading Power Station in Tel Aviv, accompanied by the Director General of the Ministry of Energy, Yossi Dayan, and professionals from the two ministries and Israel\u2019s Electricity Authority, so as to examine the possibility of establishing the underwater electricity connection at the site.<br \/>\n\u201cCyprus and Israel share a vision for the Eastern Mediterranean with the countries looking at energy as a sector that can facilitate peace, stability and prosperity in the region\u201d Papanastasiou underlined.<br \/>\n\u201cOur productive discussions centred on finding tangible ways to ensure close coordination for the promotion and <strong>timely completion of the Great Sea Interconnector<\/strong>, which connects the electricity grids of Israel, Cyprus and Greece.\u201d<br \/>\nCyprus\u2019 energy minister also stressed that they reaffirmed their determination to reach an agreement soon for the Aphrodite \u2013 Ishai issue, as well as to cooperate in developing the natural gas resources in the two countries\u2019 EEZs, taking advantage of synergies in infrastructure.<br \/>\n\u201cIn this context Cyprus could serve as a natural gas gateway to European markets, part of the reliable East Med energy corridor we are jointly working to create with an eye to <strong>diversifying sources and routes<\/strong>,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact: Israel&#8217;s Energy Minister emphasized that connecting the electricity cable from Israel to Europe through Cyprus strengthens
