Title: What Will Hochstein Say to Officials?

Today, the parliamentary council concludes the formation of its legislative kitchen, leaving the country facing urgent obligations, the foremost being the anticipated visit on Sunday or Monday from the American mediator Amos Hochstein. He is visiting Lebanon at the request of Lebanese officials in light of Israel's unilateral efforts to extract oil and gas. Another significant obligation is the formation of a new government that will also be responsible for addressing this issue and tackling the economic and living crisis. Political sources following the situation, in contact with the electronic newspaper "Al-Anbaa," predicted that Hochstein's visit would not yield any new developments, except for his reaffirmation of the American position and urging Lebanese officials to officially recognize Line 23 as the boundary of territorial waters. This acknowledgment would allow both countries to benefit from their oil wealth, along with a commitment that the United States will not permit Israel to violate Lebanon's resources.
