Israeli government spokesman Over Jendelman believed that this agreement is an explicit recognition of the State of Israel as the Lebanese and Israeli delegations arrived in the border region of Ras al-Naqura, in southern Lebanon, to sign the historical border demarcation agreement between the two countries in the presence of American mediator Amos Hoksin.
He indicated in words to Arabic/Al-Hadath today, Thursday, that Hezbollah, which has always been officially unrecognised by the “Zionist entity” as characterised, has accepted and acknowledged the nations of Israel by saying that this deal was signed with its approval and will.
He also gave consideration to the fact that his nation will become one of the biggest exporters of gas.
He added that the aforementioned arrangement had nothing to do with removing gas from the Carich field.
This statement came after the Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid described this agreement as “economic and political achievement”, noting that his country will get 17 percent of the profits of the Qana field located in southern Lebanon.
He emphasised that he “adds that Lebanon “recognised” the State of Israel, bolstering his nation’s security and freedom to work against Hezbollah. He stated: “It is unusual for a hostile state to formally and in front of the entire international community acknowledge Israel as a state.
“The important agreement in which the United States mediated for many months in order to demarcate the maritime borders between the two parties was signed by the Israeli government and Lebanese President Michel Aoun earlier today. This agreement represents a diplomatic exit from the hostility that lasted for decades and opens the way for energy exploration off the coasts of the two countries.
Hezbollah accepted the demarcation deal and acknowledged us, according to Israel.
