Welcome back to Gilis Good Newsletter #4
We had a week here in Israel. Politically I’m not sure if anyone knows what’s going on. The United Arab Emirates-owned Mubdala Petroleum is purchasing Delek Drilling’s 22% share of the Tamar gas field for 1.1 Billion Dollars so that’s nice.
We saw a supermoon on Tuesday night but so did the whole world it seems.

We’d love to hear your thoughts about this newsletter or anything else you’d like to discuss.
