U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein did not carry a specific proposal but a number of proposed solutions that he discussed with the Lebanese leaders on Monday, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said.

Berri told Asharq al-Awsat newspaper, in remarks published Tuesday, that the Lebanese leaders have sensed this time "seriousness in the negotiations."

He added that Hochstein will return within two weeks to Lebanon with Israeli answers.

Berri said he has informed the envoy that Lebanon is keen on the maritime border demarcation as an obligatory path for reaching solutions, refusing proposals submitted by Israel that suggested sharing the resources in a way that satisfies both parties.
