Israel says gas dispute to be resolved through US mediation
Israel's Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Monday that the gas field dispute with Lebanon will be resolved through a U.S. mediation.
"The dispute will be resolved in the framework of negotiations between us and Lebanon, mediated by the United States," Gantz said.
Lebanon had called for U.S. mediation Monday after the arrival in disputed waters of a vessel intended to start producing gas for Israel.
Israel claimed that the rig is “entirely in an undisputed territory.”
