According to the unsourced report Saturday, there was an agreement that was signed in secret over the weekend, and will see Israel transfer gas from the offshore Leviathan field to Jordan, From there it will be transferred to Syria and on to Lebanon, though the network said the move will require repairing and extending a gas line that flows between those countries, which could take several years.
