 HERZLIYA, Israel  The head of the U.S. company leading natural gas 
exploration off Israel's coast on Thursday urged the country to develop 
a national gas export policy, warning that government tax policy was scaring 
off potential investors.Charles Davidson, CEO of Texas-based Noble Energy, 
criticized Israel's decision in 2011 to nearly double tax rates on gas 
profits after his company had already invested $1 billion in an offshore 
field. He said the "very unusual" move may have driven away companies 
from investing in Israel's emerging gas sector.He said he sensed hesitation 
from potential investors who could help develop the Leviathan field, a large 
find that is expected to produce enough gas for export."I felt that 
.. companies were a little bit reluctant because of what had happened 
on taxes in the past," Davidson said at the company's local offices 
in the coastal town of Herzliya.In 2011, Israel's government raised taxes 
on gas and oil finds, boosting the revenues to between 52 and 
62 percent from under 30 percent.Davidson is in Israel after gas from 
Tamar, one of Israel's new, sizable fields, started being extracted last 
month. He hopes to convince authorities to agree on an export policy 
that would provide clarity for investors looking to develop the resource. 
For now, the gas is being used for domestic use only and 
sold at fixed, previously negotiated prices.On Wednesday, Davidson met Israeli 
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and

state and the regional instability that would cause far more immediate damage 
than the North's nuclear proliferation and missile program. And China remains 
wary of any enhanced U.S. involvement in its backyard."If anyone has real 
leverage over the North Koreans, it is China," U.S. Director of National 
Intelligence James Clapper told Congress Thursday. "And the indications 
that we have are that China is itself rather frustrated with the 
behavior and the belligerent rhetoric of ... Kim Jong Un."China's role in 
containing North Korea is expected to be front and center when Kerry 
arrives in Seoul on Friday. He then travels to Beijing and Tokyo.At 
a meeting Wednesday in London, Kerry and Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio 
Kishida "discussed the special role China can play in exerting pressure 
on the North Korean leadership," according to a State Department official 
who was present.Kerry, the official added, stressed the need to "change 
the dynamic in North Korea, and he emphasized the importance of continuing 
to put pressure on North Korea with economic sanctions." The official wasn't 
authorized to speak publicly on the closed-doors meeting and demanded anonymity.Kerry 
and the other foreign ministers from the Group of Eight industrialized nations 
"condemned in the strongest possible terms" Thursday the North's nuclear 
weapons and ballistic missile programs."They condemned DPRK's current aggressive
