U.S. State Department’s Senior Advisor for Energy Security Amos Hochstein is said to be continuing mediation between Lebanon and Israel over a gas-rich disputed maritime border demarcation.
Hochstein believes that talks on the maritime border demarcation between Lebanon and Israel are in the final stages.
However, the arrival of the Israeli natural gas storage and production ship to the Karish gas field on Sunday (5/6/2022) created tension between the two countries, since a part of this field is situated in the disputed area.
What are the U.S. proposals to settle the dispute?
What impact will the arrival of the Energean ship to Karish gas field have on the talks?
Tactical Report has prepared a 635-word report to answer these questions and more.
