What is the status of the border demarcation negotiations between Lebanon and Israel? The Lebanese side is awaiting Tel Aviv's response to the proposals brought from Beirut by the American mediator Amos Hochstein, which were discussed by the Israeli cabinet last Wednesday. However, according to informed diplomatic sources for "Al-Markazia," the Israeli position was not finalized in that meeting, indicating that discussions have once again entered a stalled phase, as multiple directions are pulling the authorities in Tel Aviv.
The sources clarify that this Israeli division and the criticisms directed at the government regarding its approach to negotiations stem from the upcoming elections in Israel this fall. The file has also entered the realm of political maneuvering, which leads to expectations of further delays in reaching a decision, reinforcing the hypothesis that no agreement will be reached before September. How will Hezbollah respond to this delay after having given a deadline for negotiations until September?
