Abstract
As a Middle Eastern state, Israel did not manage to take an advantage from the huge oil reserves in the Gulf area. In fact, since the birth of Israel, the Arab states have introduced embargo and restrictions on trading with Israel. However, Israel as a developed country is eagerly seeking for reliable and sustainable sources of energy. Furthermore, the Arab springs and the rise of the Islamic governments may lead to more deterioration in the mutual relationships and may abort any effort in reaching settlement. The purpose of this study is to find a solution that would lead to a greater stability in the Middle East in relation to energy disputes. Also, propose solution if taken might settle the political dispute between the Arab and Israelis. This essay will discuss briefly the historical background and the current difficulties that Israel is facing regarding energy. Governmental statements, political events and relevant literature were cited in order to reach a better understanding of this dilemma. The study finds that Israel is in a difficult situation and will have to start negotiations and possibly make concessions in order for the gulf oil flow north to Israel. Similarly with regards to the East Mediterranean reserves, if acted alone, Israel might attract violent response from the other states claiming interests therefore amicable solution is the brighter one.
