Pipeline Politics: Who Profits When Energy Becomes Weaponized

Why do wars, political decisions, and global crises instantly change what we pay at the gas pump? Who shapes energy markets, and how do energy interests influence conflicts, alliances, and economic realities across the region?

In this episode of Scene48 Unplugged, Nabil Armaly, founder and editor in chief of "Wasla- Economy and Business" portal, speaks with energy and gas expert Tarek Awaad about the forces driving today’s energy landscape. Awaad opts to talk about energy that is less often spoken about in the Palestinian public discourse, yet not overlooking global energy shocks and regional power struggles to Israel’s natural gas wealth and the systematic exclusion of Palestinian citizens from its benefits. The conversation examines how energy has become one of the defining political and economic questions of our time.

A timely discussion on energy security, economic justice, and the region’s future.
