Prime Minister Yair Lapid meets with US mediator Amos Hochstein in Jerusalem hours after the completion of the Israel-Lebanon maritime deal.
Lapid thanks him for his efforts, saying the deal would not have been possible without him and the support of US President Joe Biden “who was there for us all the way.”
“This is a historic agreement that strengthens Israel’s security and Israel’s economy and will bring stability to the region,” Lapid says.
Lapid says the deal allows Israel to become a major supplier of gas to Europe at a time the world is in desperate need.”
