    Israel, Lebanon differ on maritime boundary

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's Cabinet has proposed a maritime boundary with Lebanon significantly different from the line that Beirut is seeking.

    The two countries are racing to stake their own claims for a demarcation line in the Mediterranean Sea, where energy reserves have been found.

    They have asked the United Nations to mediate in the matter since Israel and Lebanon have no relations.

    The sea boundary dispute could trigger a new conflict over lucrative gas and oil reserves.

    Israel recently discovered two gas fields off its coast, and energy companies believe other reserves could be in the area.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Lebanon's proposed line falls "significantly south" of the line Israeli ministers agreed on Sunday.

      Plot a line on the latitude from the border at the coast that's it.

      Isn't this what the UN is for, to mediate differences between nations? Israel and Lebanon disagree and I would hope the UN can find the fair and reasonable solution and borderline.

        variation on a very old Joke. I always heard it as the motto of the Israeli communist party. I guess the classics do not go out of style.

      I am sure that if the UN gets involved and sides with Lebonon, they will be called anti semites and the U.S will take the jews side

        M is that the problem with the UN that they are all Muslims and hate Jews & Christians ? wow a way to get a fair deal, just go ask some one that hates you for just existing.

        PJ IS RIGHT, SUCK SUUCK IT NAZI !

      Many years ago, Golda Meir, the Prime Minister of Israel at that time, has made an observation that is still true (paraphrasing): "How can we talk about peace to our neighbors when they hate us more than they love their children?" Muslims are hell bent on destroying Israel at any cost. Egypt, Syria and Jordan could have solved the problem with the "palestinians" (in quotes, because there is no such ethnicity - they are all arabs from those countries) in 1948, but that is not their goal. In fact, these countries are guilty of creating this problem in the first place. They refused to abide by the UN decision to resettle the "pals", and attacked the new Israel.
      Most on this board know what causes this human crisis, but the truth does not concern you. Annihilation of the Jews is what you & your spiritual brethren seek. Don't hold your breath.
      Blame the arab leadership for refusing to help their people while lining their own pockets with humanitarian aid. They are in the refugee business. Egypt, Syria and Jordan created the problem in 1948, and they still fuel it, along with Hamas, Iran, the left of all kinds and Neo-Nazis. What a company!

      Lebanon should be happy that it is only water they want. If they don't agree now, Israel might change mind and claim the whole Lebabnon including the sky belonged to them.

      P Jones, you incredibly ignorant IDF zionist troll, the anti-semite card has been over-played.
      The civilized world knows Israel is a racist apartheid government.
      Even decent Jewish Israeli citizens know this and are getting second passports aand moving to other countries to escape the stench of zionism.
      • R 10 mths ago
        Even as you say that the anti-semite card has been overplayed, your hate filled tirade and name calling makes this point very obvious that in your case its definitely true.

        apartheid? these TRUE statistics are from june of last year.
        Over one million tons of humanitarian supplies were delivered by Israel to the people of Gaza in the past 18 months – that’s equal to nearly one ton of aid for every man, woman and child in Gaza.

        In the first quarter of 2010 alone (January-March), Israel delivered 94,500 tons of supplies to Gaza. It’s very easy to miss what that actually means for the people of Gaza. The breakdown includes:

        • 40,000 tons of wheat – which is equal to 53 million loaves of bread;

        • 2,760 tons of rice – which equals 69 million servings;

        • 1,987 tons of clothes and footwear – the equivalent weight of 3.6 million pairs of jeans; and

        • 553 tons of milk powder and baby food – equivalent to over 3.1 million days of formula for an average six-month-old baby.

        This reflects a long-term effort on the part of Israel to deliver a massive and comprehensive supply of aid to Gaza’s civilians, while restricting the ability of Hamas to import missiles that have been launched at the cities of southern Israel. In 2009 alone:

        • During the Muslim holy days of Ramadan and Eid al-Adha, Israel shipped some 11,000 head of cattle into Gaza – enough to provide 8.8 million meals of beef;

        • More than 3,000 tons of hypochlorite were delivered by Israel to Gaza for water purification purposes – that’s 60 billion gallons of purified water; and

        • Israel brought some 4,883 tons of medical equipment and medicine into Gaza – a weight equivalent to over 360,000 260-piece mobile trauma first aid kits.

        and what does hamas give back to us? missles, bombs, mortars. fair deal

      Funny how Israeli always tries to steal land...
    • layssi  •  10 mths ago
      No need to worry. The Israelis will find an 80,000 years old script where god gave them the whole Mediterranean. Then they will go on to campaign that the Nazis prosecuted them and thus the Mediterranean is theirs and the Arabs and non-kosher fish are illegally swimming in their holy sea.

      We're waiting, Paul Jones.
      What is an anti-semite?
    • robertl  •  10 mths ago
      In all these years, Lebanon never made these claims. That is, not until Israel did all the work and discovered gas. The Lebanese NOW want to grab it. Israel should hold fast and strong!

      Israel land? Give me a break --
      when Moses came out of the wilderness, there were already people and cities there when he said they could have Judea.
      Even then, there were already other people and cities there
