Iran Press/ Middle East: Lebanon's lawmaker Muhammed Khawajah stressed the sovereignty of Lebanon, saying that the Israeli regime knows that the Lebanese would never give up or forego their border rights and that Lebanon gives no concessions.
He said that Nabih Berri, Lebanon's Parliament Speaker, had told Satterfield that Lebanon's border policy was crystal clear and that his country had nothing to tell its enemy.
Negotiations on border-drawing were stopped when the US and Israeli regime rejected what was agreed upon before, IRNA reported.
David Satterfield had a trip to Beirut to help exchange views between Israeli regime officials and Lebanese authorities, but it seems that his trip was not successful, for the Israeli regime had not recognised Lebanon's rights.
Lebanon stresses that any talks on border-demarcation must be supervised by UN, but the Israeli regime has rejected any UN involvement.
Lebanon and the Israeli regime are at loggerheads over a gas and oil-rich area in the Mediterranean Sea, known as the Disputed Area.
The US came to act as a mediator between Lebanon and the Zionist regime to give 60 percent of the disputed area to Lebanon and a 40-percent portion to the Israeli regime, but Lebanon did not accept the plan. 213/211/215
