Suleiman warns Israel over maritime borders

Share:

Lebanese President Michel Suleiman warned Israel on Monday against taking any decision that violates international maritime boundary delimitation laws, the National News Agency reported.

“Lebanon will defend its territory and borders, and will protect its rights and resources by all available and legitimate means,” he added.

Suleiman also said that this issue will be studied during the first ministerial session to be held Thursday in order to adopt an official stance that preserves Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Suleiman’s warning came after Israel’s cabinet approved on Sunday a map of the Jewish state’s proposed maritime borders with Lebanon which is to be submitted to the UN.

Following Israel’s approval of the map, Energy Minister Gebran Bassil countered that Lebanon will not give up its maritime rights.

The Lebanese Parliament in August 2010 passed an oil exploration bill, which calls for the establishment of a treasury and a committee to oversee exploration and drilling off Lebanon.

    la2 wloooo ya mama faza3na walah suleiman.

    although in another time/age, this issue of marine borders is important but the president should be concentrating now on his countries’s internal problems…

    i wish he would say the same thing to Asaad next door.

    Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour and diplomatic sources have calmed Lebanese fears that Israel would drill for oil and natural gas in Lebanese waters saying oil drilling companies do not make investments on disputed territory.“No company can make gas and oil investments in disputed maritime areas,” Mansour told An Nahar daily in remarks published Monday.The diplomatic sources also said “there is a fact that Israel knows before anyone else that international oil drilling companies do not operate in disputed areas.”The remarks came after the Israeli cabinet on Sunday approved a proposed maritime boundary line with Lebanon — setting up a new conflict over huge natural gas and oil reserves.

    Why don’t we do the research  get the facts and than talk to the UN and other auth on what Lebanons line is and than point fingers.

    They will file a complaint with the UN then, if they don’t like what transpires, they will accuse the UN of being “politicized” — مسيّسة
