In 1999 British Gas discovered a vast deposit of natural gas just off the coast of Gaza. Worth over US$4 billion.
BG had been asked to explore by the Palestinian Authority (Fatah) once gas had been discovered Israel wanted the gas and made a deal with Fatah.
But Fatah lost the 2006 election and Hamas said no to Israel.
Now Israel is bombing the hell out of Gaza to get hold of the gas, thinking that once Hamas are beaten they can deal with Fatah again.
Tony Blair told BG to ignore Hamas and deal direct with Israel, is this fair?
Why have we heard nothing about this on the BBC news?
