The group that controls two large gas fields off Israel's shores could seek international arbitration to defend its assets, it said on Wednesday, a day after an Israeli regulator raised the prospect of it being stripped of some of its holdings.The U.S.-Israeli consortium said it had been blindsided by the announcement from Israel's antitrust regulator that it might be deemed a monopoly over its control of the newfound Leviathan and Tamar gas fields.Gideon Tadmor, chairman of Delek Drilling and CEO of Avner Oil, said the consortium -- which also includes U.S. group Noble Energy -- had not made any decisions, but that international arbitration was an option."I don't want to minimise the significance of what happened," he told a conference call with analysts and investors.
