This study explores elements of robust strategies for exploiting the use of natural gas to minimize potential consequences from shifting to an energy mix that is increasingly dominated by domestic and imported natural gas. This report applies newly developed methods for strategic planning and decisionmaking under deep uncertainty for these assessments. The analysis also considers broader issues related to energy in Israel, and assesses the opportunities and risks that the government of Israel faces in these regards.
