The Presidency Information Office denied the allegations made by the Israeli Energy Minister, Yovan Steinitz, who claimed that Lebanon “changed its positions on the issue of the southern maritime borders seven times”.
The Information Office affirmed that the Israeli minister’s speech is unfounded, because Lebanon’s position is consistent with regard to indirect negotiations on maritime border-demarcation, in accordance with the directives given by the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, to the Lebanese negotiating delegation, especially with regard to Lebanon’s exercise of its sovereign rights.
The 4th round of indirect negotiations on the demarcation of maritime borders between the Lebanese and Israeli parties was held on Wednesday, November 11, at a UNIFIL center in Ras al-Naqoura, under the auspices of the UN and with the mediation of the United States.
Al-Manar TV correspondent reported that no progress had been achieved in this round of negotiations as the Lebanese side voiced firm commitment to Lebanon’s rights and presented all the needed documents and maps which confirm them.
