US President Joe Biden considered that the maritime border demarcation agreement between Lebanon and Israel was a step forward on the way to achieving a vision for a more secure and prosperous Middle East.
 

“Congratulations to Lebanon and Israel on concluding their formal agreement to resolve the protracted maritime border dispute," Biden said.

After meeting Israeli President Isaac Herzog at the White House yesterday, Biden stated: “the agreement to demarcate permanent maritime borders between Lebanon and Israel is historic and required courage from both sides.”

“Maritime border agreement will allow the development of energy rights for both countries, create economic opportunities for Lebanon and provide security for Israel,” he concluded.
