Israel Rejects Lebanon's Changes to Maritime Border Deal

(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid rejected the changes Lebanon proposed to a maritime border agreement drafted by the U.S., a senior diplomatic source said on Thursday. Lapid assessed some of the demands to be new and significant, and instructed the negotiating team to reject them. The source noted that Israel's Karish natural gas field will soon become operative and that Hizbullah has threatened to attack it. "Israel will extract gas from the Karish rig at the moment that it will be possible," he stated. "If Hizbullah or someone else tries to harm Karish or threaten us, the negotiations on the maritime line will stop immediately and [Hizbullah leader] Hassan Nasrallah will have to explain to the citizens of Lebanon why they don't have a gas rig and an economic future."
