Israel resumed operations at the Leviathan gas field — Israel's largest — for the first time since Israel's energy minister ordered the field to suspend operations due to security risks caused by the Feb. 28 start of the Iran conflict, Bloomberg reported on April 3. Israel's Leviathan gas field supports Israel's domestic demand and exports to Egypt and Jordan.

Egypt imports around 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas from Israel per day, and Israeli gas accounts for around 20% of Egypt's total consumption. As a result of Israeli gas export cuts, Egypt has reshuffled some of its liquefied natural gas cargoes and arranged for them to arrive earlier than planned in order to meet its growing domestic demand. Egypt has also implemented some power-saving measures, including reduced street lighting and early closures of restaurants and shops through April. In December 2025, Israel approved a $35 billion agreement to expand gas exports to Egypt through 2040.
