Report: Lebanon inclined to accept Hochstein's final offer

Lebanon is inclined to agree in principle to the U.S. proposal regarding sea border demarcation with Israel, a Lebanese diplomatic source said.

The country will “link the final approval to the return of the Naqoura meetings, in which the documents will be formulated and the technical coordinates will be specified,” the source told Russia’s Sputnik news agency.

“Lebanon will achieve one of its demands, which is not linking exploration and extraction in Block 9 and the undiscovered Qana field to Israel’s negotiations with French company TotalEnergies over its share from the revenues of the southern part of this field,” the source added.
