بري يؤكد ان اسرائيل تسعى "للسطو على غاز لبنان" … ونظاريان: علينا التحرك "بقوة"

Read this story in English W460

كشف رئيس مجلس النواب نبيه بري عن ان بحوزته بيّنات تظهر ان اسرائيل تلجأ الى السطو على كميات من الغاز اللبناني، في حين اعتبر وزير الطاقة آرتور نظاريان انه في حال ثبت الامر "فعلى لبنان ان يتحرك بقوة لحماية حقوقه".

وفي حديث الى صحيفة "السفير"، الخميس، اكد بري انه يمتلك "ادلة واثباتات تدين اسرائيل وتؤكد لجوءها الى السطو على كميات من الغاز اللبناني، عبر أنبوب يمتد في المياه الاقليمية اللبنانية المتاخمة للحدود مع فلسطين المحتلة".

واعلن انه سيكشف عن كل المعطيات الموجودة بحوزته "قريباً، وتحديداً في مطلع العام الجديد"، مشدداً على انه "من غير المقبول ولا المسموح ان تستمر اسرائيل بهذا الاعتداء على السيادة اللبنانية وثروتنا الوطنية، من دون ان نحرك ساكناً".

وشدد على ان المسألة ستتحرك "بقوة بعد رأس السنة"، وانه سيضغط على مجلس الوزراء لجعل هذا الملف من ضمن أولوياته.

من جهته، أفاد وزير الطاقة، صحيفة "السفير"، ان لا علم له حول المعطيات التي يمتلكها بري، و"لا أعرف كيف ومن أين حصل على هذه المعلومة".

ولفت الى انه "سيتواصل معه لاستيضاحه حقيقة الامر، وإذا ثبت فعلا ان اسرائيل تسرق الغاز فعلى لبنان ان يتحرك بقوة لحماية حقوقه".

وفي حين استغرب بري "ألا تكون اللجنة الوزارية التي شكلتها حكومة الرئيس تمام سلام والمعنية بمتابعة الملف النفطي، قد أنجزت ما هو مطلوب منها"، أوضح نظاريان ان عمل اللجنة جوبه بملاحظات "سياسية أكثر منها تقنية".

وتابع ان اللجنة اجتمعت مع هيئة البترول لمناقشتها في الملاحظات التي أُخذ بجزء منها، و"تم على هذا الأساس تعديل المرسومين اللذين تدرسهما اللجنة، وأنا لا أزال أنتظر إدراجهما على جدول الاعمال للحكومة".

يُشار الى ان اللجنة كانت قد تألفت من اجل البحث في المرسومين اللذين يمهدان لإطلاق عملية المناقصة والتلزيم لاستخراج البترول، الاول يتعلق بتقسيم المياه البحرية اللبنانية (بلوكات نفطية) والثاني يتناول اتفاقية الاستكشاف والانتاج.

الى ذلك، حذّر نظاريان من ان "الوقت ليس لصالحنا، وأنا لا أعرف كم نستطيع ان نصمد بعد في ظل الوضع الاقتصادي المهترئ"، محذرا من انه إذا استمرت المماطلة في اتخاذ التدابير اللازمة "فأنا أتخوف من ان نخسر الفرصة".

واعتبر ان "استخراج النفط والغاز سيجعلنا دولة مقتدرة، ومستقلة في قراراتها، وهذا ما لا يناسب الدول التي اعتادت علينا نمد أيدينا للتسول".

من هنا، كشف وزير الطاقة عن ان "هناك حاجة الى ما بين خمس وست سنوات للمباشرة في استخراج النفط والغاز في حال وُضع القطار على السكة الصحيحة".

ولفت الى انه "لن يجري تلزيم البلوكات العشرة المقترحة دفعة واحدة، بل يجب ان نبدأ باثنين حتى نكتسب الخبرة الكافية".

وأضاف "سأقترح ان تكون البداية من تلزيم بلوك او اثنين في الجنوب، أولاً لان المنطقة هي الاغنى نفطيا وبالتالي الاكثر جذبا للشركات العالمية، وثانيا حتى نفرض أمرا واقعا على اسرائيل ونمنعها من سرقة ثروتنا، ويبقى القرار النهائي لمجلس الوزراء".

من الجدير بالذكر ان بري يطالب ومنذ حكومة الرئيس نجيب ميقاتي، حين كان جبران باسيل وزيراً للطاقة بتلزيم البلوكات النفطية دفعة واحدة.

The stealing of our natural resources, is a theft to all Lebanese.

I would like to see M14's reaction to this, are we going to supply ourselves, or you going to beg the Gulf countries to send us oil at heavy prices, every now and then?

Thumb -phoenix1 11:37 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Mystic, it's more like a thief like Mr. Berri who is warning about the Jews stealing our resources. Had it been a warning coming from honest and decent folks like Mr. Demianos Kattar, or Ziad Baroud or any politician who is know for honesty and integrity, then I would heed the warning, but warnings coming from the King of thieves, of Mr. Ali Baba himself means one thing and one thing only, Berri is nagging because this is one time when he is unable to tap into something that is not his. And when Berri taps, it means a long queue of thieves waiting to be served, their fair share. The solution will come when people like Berri, Nasrallah and Aoun will finally realize that paralyzing the nation by delaying the renewal of its constitutional post like now the presidency's, then we Lebanese will be in a proper position to tackle all matters with the Jewish state.

Phoenix, again it's funny to see your total neglect of any Israeli crimes. Even when they steal Lebanon's natural resources.

Do not deny that you are pro Israeli, now you will say I am pro Iranian, I will not deny that. But atleast don't deny you are pro Israeli.

Do not give me this crap, about only being Lebanese. It doesn't work any longer.

Naharnet's deleting squad is out today, I've had several comments deleted the past hour.

Phoenix, It is not surprising to see your neglect of any Israeli crimes against the Lebanese state, not enough that they dropped bombs on Lebanon, you also nod welcoming, when they steal our natural resources, do not deny being pro Israeli, this time.
It is getting pretty obvious as the days goes by.

P.S to Naharnet, you might aswell suspend me instead of deleting all my comments, then you can have M14 people, discuss &T agreeing among themselves everyday.

This is the second time we have read this "news" that Mr. Berri has information on this matter.
So why doesn't he publish it?
There is the saying "I'll believe it when I see it" until then, no-one will.

Thumb lubnani.masi7i 08:55 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Berri has information but the energy minister knows nothing. Typical Lebanese efficiency and backstabbing.

@Lubnani, touche, this is very true, thanks for bringing it up.

1(wa7ad) Illa akhi Mystic. Mystic, I sympathize with your posts being deleted, but lately people like you have had quite a few problems holdings your horses over your sentiments, surely calling other posters by sultry names are not helping you guys a lot. About Israel stealing our resources, please, tell me what they are, some water, some goats, a few shepherds released later? Now let's compare that with some notable Lebanese leaders are stealing please, care to continue? Then let's throw on the table the theft by Syria of Lebanon's resources? Or of those stooges who gladly support them? Who is stealing electricity, water, wlak shou baddak yaa akhy? You've been over my shoulders lately, calling me pro-Israeli, pro Amreekan, tayeb ya akh tayeb, meshel 7al. But then, you ya Mystic what are you?

2. (tneyn) Illa akhi Mystic). Yes, you are a Hezbollah partisan, fair enough, it's your right and I respect that right, but then let's see.......Hezbollah still cashes into its account in US Dollars, still pays its employees and fighters and partisans in US Dollars. Euros? hell NOooooo, Dollars only. When people got their houses leveled in 2006, HA paid $12,000 ma heyk? Again, USD. Hezbollah has many business interest in the USA, and this including large bank accounts. Why is HA suffering today, is it not because of the freezing of its assets there and in other countries? US Dollars again, not Ausie Dollars, ma heyk :). Who is importing most of these beautiful Amreekan cars but HA and its operatives here? Who is selling Coke and grass to Israel and the US, is it me or you guys? maybe I am not as pro-Amreekan as you are ya Mystic, so why do you keep ignoring such facts? Allah yerda3 3aleyk ya akh, rawwe2a 3aleyna shwaye.

If it is true...it is not difficult to prove. Then, the UN is the place to file complaint and solve conflicts among countries.

Missing humble 10:55 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Absolutely...remember Imbassil wanted this ministry for adding more millions into his pocket...

Thumb the_roar 13:53 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

M14ers posting & confirming what most already suspected....They would rather see outsiders benefit at all times.

Tea serving comes to mind !!!

Thumb Mystic 14:16 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

roar - It's getting pitiful to watch, Israel might aswell take their hands in the M14'ers pocket and grab their wallets, they wouldn't mind it at all. They would nod say "You're Welcome" Just like Phoenix.

Thumb the_roar 16:22 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Your too kind in your assessment, mystic...even some Jewish people I know laugh at Lebanon's tea servers.

Thumb -phoenix1 17:38 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Mystic rou2, ma badda hal ad, 3an jad. The man you're calling pro-Israel and Pro-Amreekan is actually employing nearly 50% Lebanese Shiites of his expat staff in Africa, with good salaries, bonuses, paid leaves, medical insurance,... etc... My company does not see religion but Lebanese, simple. But the problem is that I am paying them in US Dollars, every 26th of the month, is that a problem?

Thumb canadianpaul 14:29 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Why does it matter? The Lebanese people will not see a cent of benefit anyways. It will all go to the pockets of our honest, hard-working politicians.

Thumb nickjames 15:28 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Absolutely with Phoenix on this one. First of all, where is Berri getting this information, is he sitting on the seafloor? Berri is only worried about this because he and a bunch of others all want to steal it. Explain how he and not the energy minister has such information. And it's like Paul said, it's not like the people are gonna see one cent of this. All the profits will be pocketed, or folks like Berri will make deals a la Hessni Mubarak and sell the oil to Israel for a nice discount

Thumb -phoenix1 17:49 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

Berri Baba must have read Naharnet and must have called Nazarian, so yeah, the minister had to cover up his boss. Now the minister knows as opposed to the minister did not know early this morning. This is called, Lebanese patch patch business. If it leaks, patch it.

Missing peace 18:40 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

"despite a claim made by Energy Minister Arthur Nazarian that he did not have information about the alleged aggression."

and you want to trust the lebanese politicians when one knows the other doesn't? Lebanon has not even started extracting oil and we already have disagreements....
that oil is going to be more a source of conflict between lebanese than with israel... as usual... pityful nation

Default-user-icon leb above anything (ضيف) 18:52 ,2014 كانون الأول 11

the claim is rather strange !
please bear in mind that any propaganda is mainly directed internally, therefore I would like to know what is the meaning of this declaration :

-the need to absolutely focus attention over something else (but that would be the hizb's propaganda job ) ?

-they are desperately looking for another source of revenue ?

-why mandating berri, why now ? or is he now more free to deal with this file ? is he now working alone ?

so many questions

First of all Israel is not drilling Noble Energy is. No international oil company will ever drill in disputed waters. There are no oil platforms anywhere near the lebanese area, there is no secret underwater pipeline, i kinow the lebanese are stupid but even they should have noticed this
Moreover nobody knows if there is any gas in lebanese waters, since there has been no drilling. There is no oil at all so lets keep this noncence out.The lebanese should stop talking like idiot and have an oil company start drilling ( since like Israel ) it doesn't have the capacity itself.
