Another Episode in Conflict: Israel Set to Steal Lebanese Gas!
JNOUBIYEH | 10:19 AM
Another episode of the conflict taking place between Lebanon and the Israeli enemy seems to begin
However, this episode is unique and very different from all previous ones
After occupying the land and detaining the men, Israel is now seeking to steal the Lebanese gas!
According to a report published in Lebanese daily As-Safir, newly discovered Leviathan gas site extends into Lebanese territorial waters, which forces on Lebanon a new challenge and introduces a new issue to struggle over.
Hilmi Moussa, As-Safir's Israel affairs analyst, relying on Israeli reports, said that "the region where the find was made lies mostly off the Lebanese shores and in international waters between the sea border of Palestine and the sea border of Cyprus."
"However, Israel has received a guarantee from Britain, which has no rights in Palestine, to search for oil in the area near the Lebanese shores. The map of deposits, as published in the Israeli economic papers, shows the scope of the deviation into Lebanon's international rights."
Moussa, whose report appeared on the front page of the newspaper under the headline: "Israel preparing to steal gas fields in Lebanon's waters", said, "If these preparations and studies are true the region will quickly turn into a new conflict between Israel and Lebanon, which will defend its rights in the water.
"This means that international interest in the region, and its economic aspects, will increase, just only due to the scope of the amount of gas, but also due to its proximity to European shores."
The analyst added, "the drill sites, 'Rut', 'Tamar', 'Leviathan' and 'Alon' are included in areas that penetrate sites off of the Lebanese shores or in areas that are situated very far away from the shores of the occupied territories.
"The data show that the companies Nobel Energy and Delek received privileges from Israel to drill at the sites Alon A. and Alon B. which extend to the shores of Cyprus, and that Nobel Energy is not hiding the fact that the research it is basing its assessments on covers an area by the name of Block 12 in Cyprus' waters."
