"I am delighted to welcome Mr Tshuva as a non-executive director to the Board of Ithaca Energy.  Mr Tshuva brings to the board extensive experience in the international oil and gas markets. As the major shareholder of Delek Group, he is responsible for the discovery of significant natural gas reserves offshore Israel which contributed to its emergence as an international player.
