The Gas Battle - Yuval Steinitz

Hebrew Book Edition 

In "The Gas Battle", Dr. Yuval Steinitz who served as Israel's Minister of Finance and Minister of Energy, offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look into the often absurd, dark, and humorous world of high-stakes national economic decision-making.

Steinitz exposes a decade of intense warfare against the country's most powerful tycoons and energy monopolies. It was a decade where he found himself fighting for his policies on all fronts: against populists from both the political Right and Left, fellow government and Knesset members, agenda-driven journalists, a rigid bureaucracy, Supreme Court justices, and even direct diplomatic pressure from former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

The Gas Battle draws a straight line from the initial war over raising taxes on energy corporations to the passing of the historic Anti-Concentration Law, which dismantled Israel's massive financial pyramids and broke the tycoons' grip on the Israeli economy and politics. Ultimately, it chronicles the creation of the famous Gas Outline that unlocked the nation's natural resources.
