The European Union, Israel and Egypt signed a historic document that will allow Europe to quickly abandon Russian blue fuel - a memorandum of understanding in the field of gas exports. Al Jazeera reports..

The supply should go by pipeline from Israel to the terminal on the Egyptian Mediterranean coast in significant volumes. At the terminal, the fuel will be converted into liquefied natural gas (LNG) and delivered to the end user.

The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that she considers the agreement historic, and also expressed the hope that it will help to significantly increase Europe's energy security.

Israel's intention to help Europe with gas supplies became known in early April. At that time, the Israeli side indicated that it was ready to do everything possible to solve energy problems arising against the background of the uncertainty of gas supplies from Russia..

Cooperation between Europe and Egypt is also growing: in April, the large Italian company Eni signed an agreement to increase gas production in Egypt and increase LNG supplies to other EU countries.
