What is the EMGF?
The East Mediterranean Gas Forum (EMGF), formed by Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, and Palestine, initially as an informal bloc in 2019, officially established its charter on September 22, 2020.
France sought membership and was approved on March 9, 2021, while the UAE’s membership was vetoed by Palestine during a Ministerial conference in Cairo. On the same day, the EMGF announced that its charter had entered into effect.
On June 15, 2022, the EU, Egypt, and Israel reached an agreement to supply gas to the EU, reducing its dependency on Russian gas, with Russia reportedly cutting its exports to Europe in response.
