(The Center Square) – A new U.S.-Eastern Mediterranean energy “3+1 partnership” has launched among the U.S., Greece, Cyprus and Israel to establish energy security, peace and stability in the region. 

The partnership is an outworking of an initiative launched under the first Trump administration when Congress passed the Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Act of 2019. It authorized the Department of State to enter into cooperative energy agreements with Greece, Cypress and Israel, and the Department of Energy to establish a joint U.S.-Eastern Mediterranean Energy Center in the United States. The center will advance cooperation in energy innovation technology, water science, and technology transfer.
