Mansour to Ban: Israel’s Maritime Border Maps Violate Lebanon’s Sovereignty

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour voiced on Monday Lebanon’s rejection of the maritime border maps that Israel presented to the United Nations.

He said in a letter to U.N. chief Ban Ki-Moon: “The maritime maps that Israel presented to the U.N. are a blatant violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and its economic zone.”

He explained that the coordinates it presented “cut a total of 860 square kilometers of Lebanon’s economic zone and regional waters.”

“This therefore jeopardizes international peace and security,” Mansour added in the letter.

The minister urged Ban to take “all necessary measures to avert any conflict in order to maintain the peace in accordance to U.N. Security Council resolution 1701.”

Israel submitted its maps to the United Nations in July, shortly after Lebanon presented its own.

jabal amel you are being a drama queen, just like nasrallah. No one is allowed to have an opinion, or they are zionists, and now even worse, not having one makes you a zionist too.

I pity you. Lebanon is a free country, and the biggest traitors to its independance and everythingit stands for are your general and your sayyed, who in turn could not care less about you. Nasrallah only obeys iran and aoun only obeys the gremlins living in his head.

Please Ban, we need your help with the maritimeborders, but we want you to forget about the STL. What hipocrites!!!

Why didn't the Hezz allow this kind of negotiation when M14 was in power? They want to hurry the process to steal the money.

What sovereignty?
Even interior security forces are not able to access many areas of Lebanon.

jabal amel is right, everyone's a Zionist except the Mossad infested Hezbollah. BTW jabal you sound like Qaddafi he loves (d) calling people Zionists. Did you get to meet the fighters he sent during the civil war they also saw Zionists everywhere but mostly along the Jounieh-Jerusalem border.
