Egyptian natural gas supply to Israel resumes

Supply of Egyptian natural gas to East Mediterranean Gas Co (EMG) and to EMG's Israeli customers has resumed, EMG shareholder Ampal-American Israel Corp said on Wednesday.

Saboteurs blew up a pipeline carrying gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan on Monday, forcing a shutdown in the flow of gas. It was the third attack since early February on the pipeline.

Previous explosions on April 27 and Feb. 5 closed the pipeline for weeks.

Ampal , which has a 12.5 percent interest in the EMG consortium, said it was advised by EMG that the gas supply resumed on Tuesday.
