Egypt Seeks Earlier LNG Imports as Israel Cuts Gas Amid Iran War
Egypt is seeking to bring forward some LNG imports and plans to buy more cargoes after energy supplier Israel shuttered fields following its strikes on Iran, according to people familiar with the matter.
Israeli gas supplies to Egypt have come to a complete halt, said an Egyptian official who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. To make up for any shortfall, the country is expediting LNG shipments it contracted in mega deals last year, two people familiar with the plans said.
