W460

Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib announced Wednesday that “there are no complications regarding the discussions for sea border demarcation with Syria.

“We will agree with the Syrians on another date for the beginning of the border demarcation talks,” Bou Habib added, in remarks to Al-Jazeera TV.

He also said that Lebanon’s caretaker government “will continue the maritime border demarcation talks with Syria.”

“The Lebanese have major hope that Lebanon will become an oil producing country,” Bou Habib went on to say.

He added that French oil giant TotalEnergies would begin gas exploration at Lebanon’s Qana field following the Thursday signing of the sea border agreement with Israel.

“After the agreement is signed, we will officially publish the text of the sea border demarcation agreement,” Bou Habib said.

This FPM puppet seems to live on a different planet or think Lebanese are stupid. If we had a real foreign minister we would have not only demarcated land and sea borders with Syria, but rightfully gotten billions for taking care of Syrian refugees and teaching them democracy and civility so they can make a positive change once back in Syria. Turkey got billions from Europe as these refugees would have cost significantly more to Europeans if they reached their shores. Lebanon rightly deserves at least $25 per day for every Syrian temporary refugee in Lebanon. This is over $10 billion per year. FPM has instead used refugees as a cash cow to divert millions to its cronies. Lebanon foreign minister role is to request these funds be earmarked from any Syria donor conference. This will insure Assad would want them back as soon as possible.
