Caretaker Foreign Affairs Minister Abdallah Bou Habib on Monday, following his meeting with Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati at the Grand Serail, noted progress in the indirect negotiations between Lebanon and Israel over the demarcation of their maritime border.
“American envoy Amos Hochstein, who was mediating the indirect negotiations between Lebanon and Israel has undoubtedly come up with new proposals which I cannot disclose," Bou Habib said following the meeting.
"US President Joe Biden spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid about the negotiations, convinced of the necessity of reaching an agreement this month or next month, but we haven't reached the end yet," he added.
"No one knows, till now, when Hochstein would return again," Bou Saab said, adding that after Lebanon completes this work, it will wait for Hochstein's recommendation for the whole demarcation proceedings.
