The opening as it read in 2015

Arab Gas Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline in the Middle East . It exports Egyptian natural gas to Jordan , Syria , and Lebanon , with a branch underwater pipeline to Israel .1 It has a total length of 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) at a cost of US$1.2 billion. As of March 2012, the gas supply to Israel and Jordan stopped due to 13 separate attacks on GASCO 's feeder pipeline to El-Arish that have taken place since the beginning of the 2011 Egyptian revolution —carried out by Bedouin complaining of economic neglect and discrimination by the central Cairo government. By spring 2013 the pipeline returned to continuous operation, however, due to persistent natural gas shortages in Egypt, the gas supply to Israel was suspended indefinitely while the supply to Jordan was resumed, but at a rate substantially below the contracted amount. The pipeline has since been targeted by militants several more times.2
