Israel sources its oil primarily through imports due to its limited domestic oil production capabilities. Historically, Israel has faced challenges in establishing a robust oil industry, which has led the country to rely heavily on imports to meet its energy needs. The majority of Israel's crude oil is imported from various countries, with significant suppliers including Russia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. In recent years, Israel has made strides in energy independence through the discovery of natural gas reserves in the Mediterranean Sea, notably the Tamar and Leviathan fields, which have positioned the country as a potential energy exporter in the region. While natural gas has become a key component of Israel's energy strategy, oil remains essential for transportation and other sectors. The ongoing geopolitical dynamics and regional tensions play a significant role in Israel's energy security, influencing its relationships with neighboring countries and its approach to energy diversification. As Israel continues to develop its energy sector, the balance between imports and domestic production remains a focal point for policymakers aiming for greater energy security and economic stability.
