Lebanon requests some changes in US proposal for maritime border deal with Israel

Lebanon requested changes Tuesday to a US proposal to resolve a maritime border dispute with Israel.

Lebanon’s Deputy Speaker Elias Bou Saab confirmed the request, adding that a final agreement has not yet been reached.

Stressing that Lebanon will not pay any share from the Karish Gas Field to Tel Aviv, he noted that this principle forms the basis of the agreement and that Israel does not have any rights in the field.
