The decree has yet to obtain government approval to submit new coordinates to the United Nations. \n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nOn the 13rd of April, Lebanon\u2019s president Michel Aoun rejected to grant it swift approval stating the decree needed to be agreed upon by the caretaker government. According to the Courrier International, the amendment would add 1,430 km2 (550 square miles) of maritime territory Lebanon claimed in its original submission to the United Nations. \n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nThe claim increases tensions between the two countries. Israel\u2019s Minister of Energy, Yuval Steinitz, officially stated his response: \u201cUnilateral Lebanese measures will, of course, be answered with parallel measures by Israel\u201d.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nA dispute to own potential gas-rich offshore fields.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nNegotiations between the two countries started in October as a completion of three years of diplomacy by the United Nations, but have been halted in December. Ever since, Lebanon and Israel have been disputing maritime frontier for major hydrocarbon exploration.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nThe new maritime frontier claimed by Lebanon reaches potential gas-rich surfaces in the eastern Mediterranean Israel considers to belong to its exclusive economic zone. The country already owns major offshore fields but Lebanon has yet to discover hydrocarbon reserves in its waters, according to Reuters. In the middle of its worst financial crisis since 1975-1990 civil war, Lebanon is desperate for any economic resources to restabilize the state of the country.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nSource : Courrier International, Reuters, The Times of Israel\n\n \n \n\n","author":115,"featured_media":32533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[5751,5807,5812,6085,5821,5760,5832],"location":[5647,5628],"class_list":["post-32532","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-economy","tag-gas","tag-hydrocarbons","tag-israel","tag-mediterranean","tag-mediterranean-exchanges","tag-resources","location-israel-2","location-lebanon"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3uKQFyX","have_related_news":"","chapo":"Lebanon\u2019s prime minister and ministers of defense and public works signed a draft decree to add over 1,400 km2 of maritime territory in the eastern Mediterranean also claimed by Israel.
