Lebanon-Israel maritime border deal: terms and concerns — Naharnet

– What are the terms? –

Negotiations between the neighboring countries, which are still technically at war, had suffered repeated setbacks since their launch in 2020.

But they gained momentum in recent weeks with both sides eyeing revenue from potentially rich Mediterranean gas fields.

Lebanon, which is in deep financial crisis but cannot count on gas alone to bail it out, and Israel said they agreed on the terms of the U.S.-mediated deal this week.

The text of the agreement sent to both countries by U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein said it “establishes a permanent and equitable resolution of their maritime dispute”, according to a copy seen by AFP.

It will go into force as soon as the U.S. sends a notice confirming it has received from Lebanon and Israel their separate approvals, the deal says.

Lebanon and Israel will then deposit maritime border coordinates with the United Nations — in a move that will override 2011 submissions by both countries.

Under the agreed coordinates, Israel has full and undisputed rights over the Karish gas field which is expected to start gas production within weeks.

Lebanon will have full rights to operate and explore the so-called Qana or Sidon reservoir, parts of which fall in Israel’s territorial waters.

But “Israel will be remunerated” by the firm operating Qana “for its rights to any potential deposits”, according to the text of the agreement.

Israeli critics of the deal, including the conservative Kohelet Policy Forum, have challenged the Qana provision in court, demanding a national referendum before Israel relinquishes “sovereign territory.”
