Shaul Tzemach Discusses Opportunities for U.S.-Israel Energy Cooperation

The U.S. Chamber hosted a forum with Shaul Tzemach, Director General of Israel's Ministry of Energy and Water Resources for a discussion with leading oil/gas companies about the offshore regulatory environment related to the recent gas finds. Tzemach, who was appointed in October 2011 by Prime Minister Netanyahu to head the Inter-ministerial Committee to Examine the Government's Policy Regarding Natural Gas in Israel, briefed corporate leaders about the policies instigating the development of the natural gas sector. Tzemach discussed the committee's work to review natural gas policies across the world and balance Israel's energy security, domestic competition, and attract foreign investment and expertise.

After the event, Tzemach sat down with us for an interview to discuss these opportunities further.
