Lebanon Issues Gas Exploration Tender for Israeli Territory
(Reuters) Lisa Barrington and Dan Williams - Lebanon has issued a tender for offshore oil and gas exploration in an area claimed by Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Wednesday, "When they issue a tender on a gas field, including Block 9, which by any standard is ours...this is very, very challenging and provocative conduct." "Respectable firms" bidding on the tender "are, to my mind, making a grave error - because this is contrary to all of the rules and all protocol in cases like this."
