Director-General Guy Samet of the Environmental Protection Ministry told 90fm radio on Tuesday that Noble Energy did not transfer all the data it was supposed to give the ministry, ahead of the now-postponed beginning of operations at the Leviathan offshore natural-gas platform.
Samet said that in any case, there is no danger to residents and those who are evacuating themselves from nearby homes are doing so needlessly. He said Leviathan's operation is likely to be postponed until next week.
