In a huge blow to #Erdogan, Members of the #EastMed Gas Forum —which #Turkey is NOT a member, have just announced it will be a formal #Cairo-based organisation.

#Egypt
#Greece
#Cyprus
#Italy
#Israel
#Jordan
#Palestinian Authority

Worth noting, #France attended today’s #EastMed gas forum meeting as an observer

Also worth mentioning:
#Egypt’s gas production is about 7 mln cubic meter, but its consumption is 5mln cubic meter!
#EastMed

I think the “Cairo” part is just a reflection of the base country that will host the organisation, but actual meetings can happen anywhere in Egypt.
And you right, Alexandria is more natural base.
