Explosion Terror Related
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- An explosion
in an Egyptian natural gas line in the
Sinai Peninsula, which cut off supplies
to Israel, was the result of terrorism,
according to an Egyptian investigation.
Egyptian Judge Abdel Nasser el-
Tayeb, the chief investigator of the Feb.
5 explosion, said last week that four
masked gunmen set off explosives in
the gas terminal by remote control after
restraining the guards, according to
testimony by the guards, the Associated
Press reported.
The head of Egypt's natural gas com-
pany had said the explosion was caused
by a gas leak.
Gas supply also was cut off to Jordan,
according to reports. Gas should re-flow
to Israel this week.
About half of Israel's electricity comes
from natural gas from Egyptian and
Israeli sources. Egypt began pumping gas
to Israel in 2008 as part of a 15-year con-
tract. Prior to six years ago, all of Israel's
electricity was generated by imported
coal and oil, according to the Jerusalem
Post.

Ex-Wife Denied A 'Get' Can Sue
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- A Tel Aviv court
upheld the right of women denied a reli-
gious divorce by their husbands to sue for
damages. The District Court ruled that
an Israeli woman who has been refused a
religious divorce, or get, by her husband
for the past 16 years has the right to
receive nearly $200,000 in damages that
had been awarded by a family court.
"The respondent had the right to a get
from the moment she wanted one, and all
the more so when she married the appel-
lant at the age of 24, was with him for all
of three months, and knew no comfort
from him:' the judge wrote in a decision.
"Today, almost 40 years old, she continues

an important precedent for women in the
Jewish diaspora as well.
