据路透社1月15日报道，周三，以色列开始向埃及出口天然气，这是两国自几十年前实现和平共处以来签署的最重要的协议之一。

根据这项具有里程碑意义的协议，埃及一家私营企业Dolphinus Holdings将在15年内从以色列利维坦（Leviathan）和塔马尔（Tamar）近海油田购买850亿立方米的天然气，总价值约195亿美元。

Israel starts exporting natural gas to Egypt

Israel began exporting natural gas to Egypt on Wednesday, commencing one of the most important deals to have been signed by the neighbors since they made peace decades ago.

Under the landmark deal, a private firm in Egypt, Dolphinus Holdings, will purchase 85 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas, worth an estimated $19.5 billion, from Israel’s Leviathan and Tamar offshore fields over 15 years.
