Greenpeace Israel activists protest outside a stakeholder meeting to discuss the government's proposals for massive offshore gas expansion in Israel’s economic waters. Greenpeace activists symbolically present a big cheque from the Israeli government to the gas industry for 19 billion shekels. Greenpeace has commissioned an independent study in to the economics of the gas industry, which revealed not only massive public investment to the gas industry but also that the country will only receive a fraction of the revenue that the government is promising the country will obtain from taxing the gas companies.
