U.S. Proposes Boundary for Israel, Lebanon Maritime Gas Deposits
(Christian Science Monitor) Nicholas Blanford - The U.S. has proposed a boundary between the maritime economic zones of Lebanon and Israel to help end a lingering dispute and open up oil and gas exploration in the eastern Mediterranean. "Both sides appear to be interested in an equitable solution," said a source familiar with the U.S. proposal. The boundary submitted by Israel to the UN lay some 10 miles northeast of Lebanon's proposed boundary, creating a 330 square mile overlap.
