Israel Reopens Karish Offshore Gas Platform After Six-Week War Shutdown

Israel's Energy Ministry ordered Energean to resume operations at the Karish natural gas platform, which provides approximately 40% of Israel's gas supply and has been shuttered since the war began on February 28. The reopening follows the US-Iran ceasefire and a separate Israeli decision to restart the Leviathan field. The moves signal Israeli confidence in the ceasefire's durability despite ongoing Lebanon strikes, though Iran's signals about re-closing Hormuz after the Lebanon escalation could complicate the picture.
