Introduction

According to the (International Energy Agency- IEA, 2014) which prepared the annual report as a “World Energy Outlook” has forecast (37%) increase in global energy demand by (2040)[1] While the world's population is expected to rise from (7.2) billion in (2014) to (9) billion by (2040). The growing demands to Natural gas per year for (1.6%) and to Oil per year for (1.3%)[2]. Furthermore, presently, more than (50%) of all the energy consumed within the European Union is imported from outside. That is why the gas extremely conflict between Russia and the European union countries in (2006) and (2009) took place as well (2014) in the Crimean peninsula. meanwhile, the discoveries of natural gas about (2000) Billion cubic meters (bcm) and a ratio of Oil in the Eastern Mediterranean have really meant an Energy revolution, Probably change the geopolitics and political alliance in the area all[3].

For that purpose, this scientific paper is an inductive approach and will focus on the energy pipelines in the eastern Mediterranean, especially, the pipeline connection between Cyprus, Israel and Egypt and its exporting to European countries, in order to satisfy the  EU ‘s demands, the article also asked what is the role of energy pipelines in the regional co operations?  Does natural gas redrawing the map of forces in the region?. How U.S.A is welcoming this new political economy phenomenon in the Mediterranean basin?, Moreover, this attempt seek  to understand more about the political economy in the eastern Mediterranean and its intertwining with the Middle East events, such as some researchers  believed that energy pipelines are the tools of the invisible conflict in the Middle East during and after the Arab Uprising/ Spring in (2011).
