Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday announced a "historic" contract for sales of billions of dollars' worth of Israeli natural gas to Egypt.
"This will bring billions of dollars to state coffers," he said in a statement announcing the accord with Egypt, which in 1979 became the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel.
The Israeli energy group Delek said the value of the contract was $15 billion.
In September 2015, Jordan struck a deal to buy 300 million cubic feet (8.5 million cubic meters) of Israeli gas per day over a 15-year term.
