In an interview with LBCI, U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein hailed the U.S.-mediated maritime border deal between Lebanon and Israel.

Hochstein said the deal is an agreement that could be credited for preventing chaos and further conflict throughout the region.

“For the first time in a long time, Lebanon is the answer to the problems and not the cause of it,” he continued.

He added that the deal would ensure “economic prosperity for Lebanon, an assurance from conflict, securing Israel’s northern borders”, which he said would translate to “no war between Israel and Lebanon”.
