Instead, it has relied on imports. In the past, Israel primarily imported oil from countries like Iran and Iraq. However, political tensions in the Middle East often disrupted these oil supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following these disruptions, Israel focused on diversifying its sources of oil. It has increasingly turned to other regions, including the Mediterranean and Africa, for its oil imports. These efforts have been critical for ensuring a steady supply of oil to fuel its economy and meet its energy needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
