What happened
Benjamin Netanyahu visited the Leviathan natural gas platform on October 22, 2026, accompanied by Energy and Infrastructure Minister Eli Cohen. The visit highlighted natural gas as a strategic national asset and a major source of state revenue for Israel. Since operations began in December 2019, the Leviathan project has generated NIS 32 billion in revenue for the state treasury.

Why it matters
The Israeli natural gas and oil sector is projected to generate cumulative state revenues exceeding NIS 350 billion. A significant portion of this revenue comes from export agreements, such as the one approved in December 2025 with Egypt, which is expected to generate approximately NIS 58 billion for the Israeli treasury.
Projects are underway in the Leviathan field near Israel, while Permian operations aim to supply gas for Microsoft's plant amidst geopolitical tensions driven by the Iran conflict.
