[07] ISRAEL PLANS TO RE-OPEN MOSUL-HAIFA OIL PIPELINE
Israel has proposed that Turkish construction firms renovate and put back into service the Iraq-Israel oil pipeline running from Mosul in northern Iraq to the Israeli port city of Haifa. This pipeline, which has lain unused for over a half-century since Israel declared independence, would be a commercial rival to the existing Iraq-Turkey pipeline running from Kirkuk in the country’s north to the southern Anatolia city of Yumurtalik. Nihat Ozdemir, head of the Turkish Contractor’s Union, said that in the long run resurrection of the Mosul-Haifa line would deal an economic blow to Turkey. “But right now it’s only a proposal,” he stated. “There’s no final decision yet.” He added that whereas the Kirkuk-Yumurtalik pipeline has an annual capacity of fully 80 million tons, the Mosul-Haifa line could carry only 5 million. /Turkiye/UGul
