"Being proposed now is an undersea pipeline
to the Turkish coast from Israel, which will connect with the existing
infrastructure in Turkey. The Zorlu Group, a Turkish conglomerate with
significant investments in Israel, is said to be lobbying the two governments
for this contract." "Haaretz recently quoted industry sources saying
that such a pipeline would have to pass through the economic zones of Lebanon
and Syria before reaching Turkey, which is bound to be problematic. The future
of Syria [and Lebanon], however, is in the balance today."
