Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday chided a cabinet colleague who failed to give him public praise for pushing through a long-sought offshore gas deal. After ministers approved revisions to the agreement with a US-led consortium designed to overcome a court challenge, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz named several officials he credited with redrafting the document. "Maybe there was someone else who contributed," Netanyahu said in a comment picked up by media microphones and broadcast on public radio and news websites.
