offshore gas projects in the east mediterranean basin

See the following link about facts & figures around maritime energy resources exploration in the east Mediterranean basin. Although this article contains no legal argument or analysis, the sort of legal issues that it might engage are: the capacity of the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli State to contract inter-state treaties, or other private-public legal agreements, that relate to resources which exist within or otherwise relate to territory of undetermined status or which is under occupation, as the case might be. Also, it brings to the fore issues about the demarcation of maritime borders in cases where not all parties concerned – e.g., the littoral states in the region – are parties to the United Nations’ Convention on the Law of the Sea (i.e., the international legal agreement par excellence that definitively codifies the norms that ought to apply to legal questions of this nature).
