The Tamar gas field, one of Israel's three main Eastern Mediterranean fields, is in the rocket range of Hamas, and production is now shut down, which means Egypt isn't getting liquid natural gas exports from Israel that it would usually do; Egypt also exports less because of reduced supplies, meaning less LNG exports to Europe where demand is higher due to Russia's war in Ukraine.

“Tamar is in the rocket range of Hamas. And production is shut down at the moment, which means that Egypt isn't getting the liquid natural gas exports from Israel that it would usually do... That means you'll be exporting less to Europe. And we know that European demand for liquid natural gas is much higher than it was two years ago because of the Russia's war against Ukraine.”
