Lapid: The offer to Lebanon protects Israel's interests (Walla system!)
Prime Minister Yair Lapid said today (Tuesday) that Israel and Lebanon reached a "historic agreement" on the maritime border between them.
Tomorrow the cabinet will meet to vote on it and then it will go to the government plenum, which will vote on its transfer to the Knesset for consideration.
The Knesset itself is not expected to vote on it, but to receive a review period of 14 days, at the end of which the agreement will be submitted for government approval.
According to Lapid, the draft agreement drawn up by the American mediator "fully complies with the principles presented by Israel, both in the security and economic fields."
According to him, "This is a historic achievement that will strengthen Israel's security, bring billions into Israel's economy and ensure stability on the northern border."
At the same time, Lebanese President Michel Aoun said today that Beirut is satisfied with the final version of the agreement on the maritime border, which he says meets its demands and protects its rights.
He expressed hope "that it will be possible to announce the agreement as soon as possible".
