This small dinner discussion used Israel, Egypt, and Jordan as case studies to examine the critical and evolving linkage between energy resource development in the Eastern Mediterranean and economic growth. The conversation was set within the broader context of the rapidly changing security landscape in the Middle East and the opportunities that it presents for deeper cooperation between historically unlikely allies across the region. The conversation also gave great attention to the importance of American leadership as a key ingredient for fostering stability, investment, and growth in the Middle East at this time.
