Report: US, France exerting huge pressure on Lebanon over gas deal
The French and the Americans are exerting huge pressure on Lebanon and are seeking a way to convince Beirut to “climb down from the tree,” Israel’s Channel 12 has reported.
Israel’s Kan TV meanwhile said that the next two days will be crucial in the attempt to revive the gas deal between Lebanon and Israel, after the Israelis rejected Lebanon’s amendments to the draft deal presented by U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein.
The channel also noted that Israel believes that it is still possible to reach an agreement prior to the Israeli legislative elections.
