Jordan has already signed a deal to import Israeli gas and Steinitz said talks continue to export gas to two empty liquefaction facilities in Egypt.
Talks between government officials on building a natural gas pipeline from Israel to Turkey may conclude as early as this summer, Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Tuesday.
?The purpose is to conclude by this summer a government-to-government agreement on a gas pipeline stretching from Israel to Turkey, in order to export natural gas from Israel and also the vicinity, to Turkey,? he said.
?My vision is that three years from now we will be able to export natural gas to Turkey and six years from now we will be able to complete this cross-Med pipeline? to Italy, he said.
The pipeline to Italy, which Steinitz says would be the world?s longest undersea pipeline, would be more technically complicated and expensive, and may require additional gas findings offshore Israel to make it commercially viable.
