The Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi said on Sunday that Lebanon “cannot wait longer to extract gas and oil while Israel is already doing so.”
The Patriarch said in his Sunday Mass sermon: “We call the United States Of America, the mediator, to finalize the issues of the borders with Israel as Lebanon gave the best to keep the negotiations successful and on track.”
