The mediator, Amos Hochstein, seeks to oblige Lebanon to give a final answer to a proposal he passed in February.


Lebanese officials have agreed that the American mediator on the issue of drawing the maritime border between Israel and Lebanon will arrive in Beirut on Monday afternoon, the Lebanese media reported.

During the visit, the mediator, Amos Hochstein, aims to oblige Lebanon to provide a final response to a proposal he submitted in February.

According to reports, the mediator is expected to meet with several Lebanese officials at the home of Deputy Speaker Elias Buseb in the Mount Lebanon district.

On Thursday evening, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah spoke, emphasizing that the arrival of the Energian rig to a shark field constitutes an attack on Lebanon and puts it in a difficult position. "War, but we are not afraid of it. Israel must cease its activities in the shark field and return the ship quickly and immediately."

In this context, we will mention that Shark Field was crossed by "Line 29" which is a more extreme route from the previous Lebanese position (Line 23), which delineates the maritime border with Israel at a more southern angle, to include more space on its side.

Meanwhile, sources told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar close to Hezbollah that the leadership in Lebanon is acting on the basis of Nasrallah's position as a bargaining chip in the negotiations.

The sources stated that "it is true that Nasrallah confirmed the commitment of the opposition to the state decision, but the position he presented was caused because any maneuver in the negotiations was blocked."

According to the sources, Berry seeks to prevent any move that might perpetuate the principle of direct negotiations with Israel or allow joint actions such as hiring a gas drilling company in joint reservoirs.

In addition, the Lebanese newspaper learned that Speaker of Parliament Berry seeks to resolve the disputes with Aoun, Mikati and other political forces. .

The sources also stated that Lebanon did not adhere to any final border line in the negotiation process, but was not willing to give up the area between lines 23 and 29.
