Israel, Lebanon sign maritime border deal
Israeli and Lebanese leaders signed a landmark US-brokered agreement on their maritime boundary yesterday, marking a diplomatic departure from decades of hostility and opening the way to offshore energy exploration. Lebanese President Michel Aoun signed a letter approving the deal in Baada, followed by Prime Minister Yair Lapid's signature in Jerusalem, with a handover ceremony of less-senior delegations set to take place at the UN peacekeeping base in Naqoura along the border.
