Israel's state-owned electric utility says Egyptian natural gas companies will pay it compensation of USD 1.76 billion for halting gas supplies.
Egypt stopped selling natural gas to Israel in 2012 after months of attacks on a pipeline by militants in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
The Israeli electric company sued the Egyptian providers EGPC and EGAS for USD 4 billion in damages.
