MK Katz denies receiving inside info on natural gas discovery

MK Haim Katz (Likud) on Sunday denied receiving inside information on the discovery of natural gas off the Haifa coast prior to buying shares in Isramko, the firm involved in the drilling. "I bought the shares three years ago and the details appear on the declaration I submitted to the Knesset," he told Army Radio. "Whoever thinks that I knew that they would drill there and find gas is wrong. I wasn't endowed with prophetic abilities."
