A US-brokered maritime border deal between Israel and Lebanon is close to completion, according to Saudi broadcaster Al Arabiya.
Quoting unnamed sources, the report says that Lebanon will get the Qana offshore field but will have to pay Israel compensation for extracting natural gas there.
The Karish field, which Lebanon claims and the Hezbollah terror group has recently threatened Israel over, will remain under full Israeli control, the report adds.
