Russia prepares to develop Gaza gas field Posted by Louise Turner in Middle East, News, World This latest move involves substantial amounts of gas and will no doubt cause Israel and the US much concern. Is Russia about to take a leading role in the Middle East? Al monitor reports: In a significant political and economic development, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met Jan. 23 with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The meeting came as a prerequisite to officially sign an investment agreement aiming to develop the Gaza offshore gas field in the Mediterranean Sea. It is only logical to assume that this step will raise the ire of Israel. The latter does not appreciate the role Russia plays in the region, especially since Israel has never come to an agreement with Russia.
