What are the underlying reasons for the delay and the broader context?

The delay stems from the EU's internal divisions regarding the extent and timing of sanctions, particularly concerning the energy sector. Hungary and Slovakia's dependence on Russian oil, as explained by Foreign Minister Szijjarto, contributes to this division, influencing the EU's willingness to impose sanctions that could severely impact energy supplies. Furthermore, while the US, through President Trump and his administration, has pushed for stronger sanctions, including a complete oil ban, this has not led to immediate EU compliance.

How could the East Mediterranean become a significant energy supplier for the EU?

The region's substantial gas reserves in Israel, Egypt, and Cyprus (estimated at 1.8 trillion cubic meters, potentially reaching 3 trillion with further exploration), combined with large-scale renewable energy projects and interconnector developments (Great Sea Interconnector, GREGY, Green Energean Interconnector), could significantly diversify the EU's energy supply, potentially covering 25-30% of its needs by 2040.
