A report by Imad al-Dreimli on the two gas fields found off Gaza in 2000 and left unexploited because of Israeli restrictions and the Palestinian division. Omar Shaban calls the exploration contract unjust, signed without official or public oversight, urges the Palestinian Authority to reopen it since international law allows this where a contract is tainted by suspicions of corruption, names the division as the main obstacle beside Israel's control of the technology and its security demands, and asks whether the fields might extend into Israel's Tamar field. Abdullah Abdullah and Ziad al-Zaza are also quoted.
