Lebanese leadership to unite to take actions against Israeli threats: president
Written by Malek
Details

BEIRUT, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- Differences among Lebanese leadership have been resolved and the government is planning to take actions to counter any threats from Israel, said a statement released by the presidential office Tuesday. Calling the meeting as "positive," Hariri also hailed the outcome of the meeting and said that the country's leadership will cooperate for the interest of the Lebanese. He assured that the differences between Berri and Aoun have been resolved. The meeting came several days after Aoun held phone talks with Berri at the premier's request aiming at easing rising tensions between supporters of the two top officials of the country. Tensions have been rising between supporters of Aoun and Berri, following a leaked video footage showing Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, who is also Aoun's son-in-law, calling Berri a "thug." Describing Lebanon's efforts in exploring gas in Block Nine as "provocative," Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman claimed in a latest statement that the gas field "is by all means ours."

by Ellen Francis - BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon’s top three leaders accused Israel on Tuesday of threatening the stability of the border region between them, amid rising tension over territorial and maritime boundaries. President Michel Aoun, Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri agreed to act to stop Israel from building a wall on Lebanese land at the border, and infringing on an energy block in disputed waters. Arguments over the wall and Lebanon’s plans to explore for offshore oil and gas have elevated tensions between Israel and Lebanon. Israel has said the border wall is being built on its territory. The Lebanese government says it passes through land that belongs to Lebanon but lies on the Israeli side of the Blue Line, where the U.N. demarcated Israel’s withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000.

The three Lebanese leaders met to study recent “Israeli threats, and saw in them ... a direct threat to the stability” of the border region, the president’s office said in a statement. They agreed to act “at various regional and international levels to prevent Israel from building the cement wall...and from the possibility of infringing on Lebanon’s oil and gas wealth and its (territorial) waters.” Aoun, Berri, and Hariri will present a series of measures to Lebanon’s Higher Defense Council and security officials at a meeting on Wednesday, it said. Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman called Lebanon’s first offshore oil and gas exploration tender “very provocative” and urged international firms not to participate last week. Lebanon has an unresolved maritime border dispute with Israel over a triangular area of sea of around 860 sq km (330 square miles). The zone extends along the edge of three out of five energy blocks that Lebanon put to tender early last year. Lebanon in December approved a bid by a consortium of France’s Total, Italy’s Eni and Russia’s Novatek for two blocks.
