The center is meant to contribute to natural gas deployment in Israel, expand water and energy production in both countries and improve cybersecurity systems for critical infrastructure.

Fulfilling a vision that has been three years in the making, the Senate Appropriations Committee committed $4 million on Tuesday toward establishing a Joint United States-Israel Energy Center.

The funds, which will match an equal amount provided by Israel, will serve to build a virtual hub for energy collaboration supervised by the US Department of Energy and Israel’s National Infrastructure, Energy and Water Ministry.
