Israel and Palestinian Authority 'in secret talks to exploit Gaza gas reserves'
According to the reports, the discussions were held with the approval of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and are part of political and security talks between the two sides following recent summits in Jordan's Aqaba and Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh.
The Israeli government held internal talks last year on developing the gas field off the coast of Gaza. Talks were renewed more recently following US mediation.
Israel has said the Palestinian Authority is unable to develop the gas field alone as legally only states are able to. Palestine is not yet recognised as a state in much of the international community.
A proposed solution would be for Egypt to sponsor the project. Israel, according to Channel 13, has already approached senior Egyptian officials with the proposal.
