Israel gas deal: Netanyahu says he's approved $35b gas deal with Egypt

Benjamin Netanyahu says he's approved a major deal to export natural gas to Egypt, the largest in Israel's history. The agreement between US company Chevron and Israeli partners is said to be worth an estimated 35 billion dollars. Egypt has an energy crisis but has been a vocal critic of Israel's war on Gaza. It's yet to confirm the deal. Stephen Zunes, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco and chair of Middle Eastern Studies, joins Al Jazeera’s live from Christchurch in New Zealand.
