Jumblat for Filing Complaint with U.N. if Israel Explores Gas in Lebanese Waters
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat urged the Lebanese government to file a complaint with the U.N. if Israel seizes natural gas from Lebanese territorial waters.
Jumblat told As Safir newspaper in remarks published Thursday that any Israeli attempt to explore oil from disputed sea areas is a clear violation of all agreements and international resolutions.
If violation occurs, Lebanon should file an official complaint with the U.N. Security Council against Israel, the Druze leader said.
Israel still does not have officially delineated maritime borders with Lebanon.
