Where does Israel get its oil?

[annabanana]

Does it go to us and then around to them? Is it in a pipeline from Iraq? Saudi Arabia? I was asked this Sunday, in passing and I guess I never considered it before...

3. Looks as though

regardless of where it may come from at present it may in future come from elsewhere.

5. There is this about how the US ensures

that Israel will have oil.

"US efforts to get Iraqi oil to Israel are not surprising. Under a 1975 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the US guaranteed all Israel's oil needs in the event of a crisis. The MoU, which has been quietly renewed every five years, also committed the USA to construct and stock a supplementary strategic reserve for Israel, equivalent to some US$3bn in 2002. Special legislation was enacted to exempt Israel from restrictions on oil exports from the USA."
