Reports: Hochstein says Israel ready for pre-vote deal with Lebanon
U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein denied in his meetings with Lebanese leaders on Friday the presence of any link between reaching a sea border deal and Israel’s legislative elections, Lebanese TV networks said.
“He told them that the Israelis are enthusiastic to finalize the agreement weeks before the elections,” LBCI television said.
A Lebanese official source meanwhile told MTV that “Lebanon’s stance is clear that there will be no extraction from the Karish field unless Lebanon is allowed to extract gas.”
