A review of the maritime border agreement with Lebanon has been officially started at the Knesset, kicking off a two-week clock for MKs to discuss the deal.

Although lawmakers can evaluate and debate the deal, they will not vote on it. Instead, the agreement will return to the cabinet for final approval in two weeks.
