منصور: سنُثبت للعالم أن اسرائيل تريد أن تأخذ حصتنا في المياه البحرية

Read this story in English W460

شدد وزير الخارجية بحكومة تصريف الأعمال عدنان منصور، الجمعة، على أن التهديدات الاسرائيلية في مجال النفط، "لن تُجدي نفعاً"، معتبراً أن تل أبيب تريد أخذ حصة لبنان في المياه البحرية.

وأوضح في حديث الى صحيفة "الجمهورية"، الجمعة، أنه تتم متابعة الملف النفطي منذ اللحظة الأولى، مؤكداً أن هذا "حقّنا وسنحافظ عليه".

وأضاف "سنُثبت حقنا فيه بالطرق القانونية الدولية".

الى ذلك، أشار إلى أن "الإسرائيليين يأخذون من حصّتنا في المياه البحرية، وهذا ما سنثبته للعالم عبر القنوات الديبلوماسية والدولية القانونية، ولن نتخلّى عن حقوقنا".

يُذكر أن وزير الطاقة في حكومة تصريف الاعمال جبران باسيل، كان قد لفت الاربعاء الى أن اسرائيل باشرت في التنقيب عن النفط في أماكن قريبة من حدود لبنان البحرية، و"تحديدا على بُعد خمسة كيلومترات منها".

واعتبر أن اسرائيل "لا تستطيع منعنا من القيام بما تفعله هي، ولا تستطيع ان تفرض علينا أمورا لا تتقيد بها، والمعاملة يجب ان تكون بالمثل، وما يصح عليها يصح علينا".

وكان قد أعلن باسيل في ايلول الى أنه "لا يوجد أيّ سبب لتأجيل المناقصة للتنقيب عن النفط"، معتبرا أنّ الخسارة غير المبررة في الوقت تؤدّي إلى تراكم الديون، كما تعطي أسبقية لإسرائيل في التصدير".

ولفت إلى أنّ "استخراج النفط حلم لبناني ولا يجب ضرب صدقية الدولة بالقطاع النفطي ولا داعي للتأجيل"، وقال إنّ "ما حصل ليس كارثة، وتأجيل المناقصات ليس آخر الدنيا، ولكن ما يحصل يؤدّي إلى خسارة كبيرة للبلد"، لافتا إلى إمكانية تمديد مهلة تقديم العروض في حال لم يقرّها مجلس الوزراء.

يُشار الى أن باسيل كان قد كشف أن اسرائيل إكتشفت حقلا جديدا للغاز، إسمه "كاريش"، يبعد بضعة كيلومترات عن الحدود اللبنانية "مما يعني أنه بات لدى اسرائيل الامكان الوصول الى النفط اللبناني، وهذا أمر خطير وجديد".

ومن الجدير بالذكر، انه في تموز الفائت، تمكن لبنان من تثبيت سيادته على 530 كيلومتراً مربعاً من منطقته الاقتصادية الخالصة من أصل 854 هي موضع تنازع مع إسرائيل، بعدما استطاع انتزاع اعتراف من الولايات المتحدة والامم المتحدة بحقه في هذه المساحة من بحره.

Good go ahead an prove it... you and the little sneak thief keep talking in riddles, you have evidence take it to the UN. Or is this like Aoun's proof of government corrupt that we will have to wait until the books come out to see it?

The Stooges crying the loudest are the ones planing to steal as much of the oil/gas wealth as they can. I hope there is a very different group of politicians in place if and when Lebanon starts exploiting these resources, or the people and the country will not see any of the benefits.

Are you pro-Lebanon or anti M8?
If a person is trying to defend Lebanon's right, what difference does it make which party does he/she belongs to?
It's a sad symptom that is embedded in both M8 and M14 supporters. It's so severe that neither is able to see beyond the interests of one's own and the hatred towards the other.
In any case, I don't think that any M8 or M14 supporter will even understand this message.

According to the number 1 Iranian cheerleader being anti Assad/Hizbullah (they are the something) is being anti Lebanon, who told you that the ayatollah?

All this guy is good at is talking in support of HA and whining about Israel and not one iota of doing anything constructive to avert any of the crisis that are besetting our Lebanon. What did we Lebanese ever do to deserve such a decrepit minister, government and all this miserable political class.

God Bless The Islamic Secular Resistance and its appointee General Abbas Ibrahim of the General Security for banning the movie "I Offered You Pleasure" at the Beirut International Film Festival due to its offensive nature against the faith of the resistance. Pleasure Marriages among Shias and warriors do not exist and this film by Farah Shaer is a cheap attempt by Bandar and Gaegae to discredit the resistance and its environment. The resistance and its warriors do not believe in Holy Sex Wars nor do they encourage sex out of Holy wedlock. The resistance and the Islamic Republic of Iran believe in freedom of expression. President Rouhani just promised the iranians easy access to the internet and youtube, and movie theaters equipped with popcorn machines and candy bars are now open in Tehran to the public for the first time since the islamic revolution. God Bless democracy and the resistance. Forget the Oil now....:)

If 5% of our politicians were as patriotic and efficient as the most incompetant israelian politicalfigure, Lebanon would be in a better shape. till then, i can only see another internal lebanese war because of ONE reason: who will steal the cash of the Lebanese oil. Israel must be laughing at us so much and in a way i understand them

beyond this argument of Israel stealing our wealth? will drilling oil be good for the security of our country? Lets say we do drill this oil. whats to keep people, gang leaders from stealing our wealth in these major phases of corruption?...what will be left for Lebanon when the oil wells are dried up. Qatar, has its government investing massively in different businesses sectors around the world....trying to keep a steady income atleast not entirely on oil.

The world already knows it :
A) Shebaa farms ...Stolen from Lebanon !
B) Golan Heights ...Stolen from Syria !
C) 25% of land Stolen from the pre1967 borders of the West Bank !
D) More land stolen from the West Bank to build " Illegal Settlements "
E) Building a 3000 plus km long of a Prison Wall " Inside the West Bank " territory
F) Stealing & withholding taxes that belong to the Palestinians
G) Stealing & withholding food donations for Palestinians
H) Stealing & withholding wages on Palestinian Labour as well as treating them as " Slave Labour "
I) Violating Airspace & Maritime borders against its neighbours such as Lebanon , Syria , Iraq
J) Bombing & Attacking its Neighbours ( Lebanon , Syria & Iraq on regular basis without any regards to " International Law " on regular basis
With all of the above facts , Israel is obviously STEALING & SYPHONING our Oil & Gas Resources , what other more proof does the world need !
Signed WOLF !

Wolf you are really dreaming in your cuckoo land.
A - UN States specifically that Shebaa is Syria territory.
B - "Stolen"? Who attacked in 1967 Israel or Syria?
C & D - Stolen from whom? The West Bank was part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan from 1948 to 1967, but then relinquished all title to it.
E - 3000 kms ? - That is enough from Israel to Western Europe.
I - Nice to know that Iraq is a neightbour of Israel
J - When exactly was the last time Israel bombed or attacked Lebanon except in retaliation to Hizballah attacks on Israel.
EXACTLY what proof do you have of Israel syphoning off Lebanese Oil and Gas Resources?

Israel is not your enemy. Syria and Iran are our enemies. Lebnon's was the Paris of the Middle East. Throw out Hezballa and you will become a great nation again. Live in Peace with the Jews. They are your brothers, having the same ancestry from Abraham our father and founder of our faiths in the one true and the Arabic and Hebrew people.

@ Southern and Mowaten, its a good thing to defend lebanon against the oppressorS, which means Syria, Saudi Arabia, Israel, US, or maybe even half of the world. We have no friends. Only masters. But lets get back to the point, im dont need to tell all of you my political affiliations again, doesnt matter i believe in no one in Lebanon anyways. Its been almost 3 years that the actual governement is here, and no clue about the oil , gaz or plutonium whatever we have under the sea. Can't you all see whats happening? blaming israel has always been the key to excuse our failures! it is true the zionist state is no good to us or even neighbours around us, but we could have done so much we dont need their permission! if mansour or any state man says their threats have no effect, then what have you been doing for almost 3 years giving excuses? Go dig already!

@ Southern and Mowaten, im going to tell you the real problem. Its not israel, its not syria, its not the US or even aliens, The true problem is the lebanese people, keeping all those sneaky, filthy politicians that are , anyways, the reflections of 80% of our disgusting today lebanese society. Politicians have been " fighting" over quotas, pourcentages, thats the only reason why they didnt start drilling.... they all want a piece of this huge cake. And if some will tell me its Israel, then why Hezbollah and Mansour and all those superheroes that are never scared didnt start taking responsibilities and drill? they took responsibility of going to war in 2006, they took responsibility of going to war in syria, but they wouldnt take it again to give us the right to drain our oil and gaz? Come on. Everyone is working for themselves and own interests. .

Once they all have their part, they drill it in secret, or even have foreign companies doing it, then take the money, screw us all, and say their wasnt that much oil and it would be costly to drill it. We all know the lebanese way. And even if Israel didnt exist or ceased to, they would blame it on Poseidon. Wait and See, and if ur smart, get the **** off this country and try to come back changed to change the people

ok prove but as anonyme rightly said prove also that chebaa is lebanese so it falls under UN425 and the answer is a car ride away to your master bashar!!!!

For years the UN has declared that the Shebaa Farms are Syrian territory.
Naturally Hizballah can not accept this decision otherwise it would negate its right to exist, as the leadership has claimed on countless occasions that it is there solely for the purpose of freeing every single cm of Lebanese territory from Israeli "occupation".
I for one do not believe that even with a declaration by Syria (who would legalise it as most of the world no longer recognises Assad?) that Shebaa is Lebanese territory, and Israeli withdraws would HA lay down its arms. Their claim is just a ruse to pull the wool over the eyes of the Lebanese Government and people.
