Report: Lebanon-Israel gas deal to be signed Oct. 20

Preparations are underway to officially sign the sea border demarcation agreement between Lebanon and Israel, Qatar’s al-Arabi TV has reported.

“The agreement will be officially signed on October 20 in the border area of Ras al-Naqoura,” the TV network added, quoting unnamed sources.

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said Tuesday that Israel has reached a "historic agreement" with Lebanon that will allow both sides to benefit from offshore gas reservoirs.
