Sources at the Prime Minister's Office said yesterday evening that Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed Prof. Eugene Kandel, who heads the National Economic Council, to coordinate staff work in response to the decision by Director of the Antitrust Authority David Gilo that Delek Group Ltd. (TASE: DLEKG) and Noble Energy cannot continue to hold both the Tamar and the Leviathan gas reserves, contrary to his previous position on the matter.
