Israel threatens Lebanon. Will the fifth round of negotiations be the last?

Yahya Dabouq wrote in the newspaper “Al-Akhbar” under the headline “Israel threatens to thwart the demarcation … and Lebanon bears the responsibility”: “Israel began, as expected, to pave the way for the failure of the negotiations maritime with Lebanon, through a series of accusations received from Tel Aviv, the latest of which was the accusation against Lebanon. ” With the “provocation” and the permanent change of the negotiating position, which led to his accusation yesterday of “betraying the aspirations of the peoples of the region.”

Will the fifth round of maritime negotiations be the last round of negotiations with the enemy? The issue is strongly imposed in light of Israeli intransigence and the positions and preconditions that come from Tel Aviv, trying to impose negotiating bases that prevent Lebanon from claiming its right to water as it sees it. It is clear that Israel, which imposed, in one way or another, the negotiations in form, even with amendments, decided that it also has the right to impose the rules of the negotiation and its previous result.
Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Stannitz yesterday closed a round of negotiations through the media, parallel to the rounds of negotiations in Naqoura, warning that maritime negotiations with Lebanon would reach a “dead end” unless the Lebanese delegation will change position.

According to Steinitz’s claim, “Lebanon has changed its position with respect to its maritime borders with Israel seven times,” and Lebanon’s current position “is not only incompatible with its previous positions, but also contradicts its position on the borders. maritime with Syria “. And he warned about “the possibility that the talks reach a dead end and thus hamper projects to explore energy sources at sea.”
In Steinitz’s “propaganda”, his tweets yesterday included indirect threats in which he warned Lebanon that it would lose the ability to extract its gas from the Mediterranean, and said that whoever wants prosperity in this region and seeks to develop natural resources safely it must adhere to the principle of stability and resolve the dispute on the basis of what Israel has deposited. And Lebanon to the United Nations. He summarized the content of his tweets saying that “any deviation from that will lead to a dead end and betray the aspirations of the peoples of the region.” Here.
