Israeli and Lebanese negotiators have agreed to a historic US-brokered deal that is likely to end the two countries' maritime border dispute in the Mediterranean Sea.
The deal would determine a border dispute at the eastern tip of the Mediterranean Ocean, a region where Lebanon needs to investigate for petroleum gas and where Israel has previously found commercially viable hydrocarbons.
The conflict between Israel and Lebanon for the ownership of this gas-rich region has been going on for a long time, but now both have agreed on a middle path, the details of which will be made public after the approval of the heads of state.
Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab, who participated in the negotiations on benefit of Lebanon, let the media know that the last draft of the agreement was introduced to President Michel Aoun, who will officially approve it.
Ilyas Bu Saab said that the gatherings are in understanding in the understanding arrived at between the discussion teams.
All our demands have been accepted and hopefully Israel will think the same about this deal.
On this occasion, the Israeli National Security Adviser Eyal Halata, who headed the Israeli negotiating team, supported the Lebanese negotiator Elias Bou Saab, saying that the changes we had asked for had been corrected.
The negotiators submitted the draft of the agreement to their Respective presidents, after their approval, the date of signing the agreement will be reported and its items will be disclosed.
It should be noted that there are trillions of cubic feet of gas in this area of the Mediterranean Sea and Lebanon hopes that the permission to search for gas in this area will solve the problem of electricity for 20 years.
