Aoun hopes for gas deal within 'next few days'
President Michel Aoun on Monday said he hopes for a gas deal with Israel to be reached within the "next few days."
"The indirect negotiations overseen by U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein have made major progress and the gaps that were negotiated last week have narrowed," Aoun added, in a meeting with Armenian Catholic Patriarch Raphaël Bedros XXI Minassian.
The President added that reaching an agreement would launch oil and gas exploration in Lebanon's Exclusive Economic Zone, which "would give a new impetus for the economic revival process."

Despite all the media games, a gas deal will be signed because it benefits Israel and USA elections and the political mafia in Lebanon with Hizbollah and FPM on top of the corruption chain. The only victims will be the Lebanese people and its children that will see their Country natural resources pre-sold by Hizbollah Basij and corrupt politicians to be used for more corruptions, oppression and Iran occupation, as well as to enrich political mafia and HizbIran's Basij. Just look how oil/gas resources are used in Iran. No greater crime against Lebanon's future than this deal. First they bankrupt Lebanon and steal people lifetime savings, and when nothing else left to steal, they target future generation to insure they remain in hell!
