October 14, 2020 The expected talks between Lebanon and Israel began today.
The meeting takes place at Cape Naqura, at the UN base along the blue line between the two countries.
On the table, with US mediation, the demarcation of the maritime borders of the two countries to unblock the impasse on the exploitation of energy resources in the offshore waters between the two countries, an area that however involves much wider international interests.
The framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel had been reached in recent days after a US mediation that lasted about 10 years. In the last few hours, the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah movement, close to Iran, and its ally the Amal party, headed by the president of the parliament Nabib Berri, have strongly criticized the composition of the Lebanese delegation, also made up of civilians, calling it "not legitimate".
For the United States, Mediator for the Middle East David Schenker at the helm of an American delegation. Also present was the Unifil commanded by Major General Stefano Del Col.
