Energy matters have already led to an unprecedented warming in relations between countries such as Israel and Cyprus in recent years, with an agreement signed in 2010 formally delimiting these states’ respective exclusive economic zones. It is not unimaginable that this type of cooperation could be extended to include other neighbors around the Levant.
此外，经济协议可以促进在其他领域的更为紧密的合作。能源问题已导致近年来以色列和塞浦路斯等国关系史无前例地回暖，其中2010年签署的协议正式划定了上述国家各自的专属经济区。拓展合作范围并吸纳黎凡特盆地的其他邻国并非不可思议。
