Israeli official: US-brokered maritime talks with Lebanon coming soon
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael reportedly believes US-brokered talks with Lebanon on demarcating the countries’ maritime border could be held within weeks.
Speaking with Reuters today, an unnamed senior Israeli official says the talks “will begin already in the coming weeks” and could be held in southern Lebanon.
The official says the potential talks, which Lebanon has not publicly commented on, would only deal with demarcating the maritime border, and not the land border.
Israel and Lebanon dispute where their shared maritime border runs, with potentially lucrative gas reserves lending the disagreement greater urgency in recent years.
