Israel earned 980 million shekels ($297 million) in natural gas royalties in the first half of 2025, down 16.6% from the same period last year.
The decline was attributed to temporary shutdowns at the Leviathan and Karish fields during the June conflict with Iran and scheduled maintenance in May.
Total gas output from Tamar, Leviathan and Karish fell to 12.5 billion cubic meters, with nearly half exported to Egypt and Jordan.
