Bou Habib says Hochstein made new proposals which he can't reveal
Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib on Monday confirmed that U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein has made new proposals regarding the sea border demarcation file.
“He certainly came with new proposals which I cannot disclose,” Bou Habib said, in response to a reporter’s question.
U.S. “President (Joe) Biden has also spoken to Israeli PM Yair Lapid and asked him to finalize the agreement, as declared by the U.S. side, which is convinced of the need to reach an agreement this month or the next month,” Bou Habib added.
“There is progress but we have not reached the end until now,” he went on to say.
