JERUSALEM: Israel voiced openness on Monday to US-mediated talks with Lebanon on resolving a dispute over the neighbors’ maritime border that has dogged Mediterranean oil and gas exploration.
Such talks, Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz’s office said in a statement after he met US envoy David Satterfield, could be “for the good of both countries’ interests in developing natural gas reserves and oil” by agreeing a border.
There was no immediate comment from Lebanese or US officials.
