Maritime border talks between Lebanon and Israel scheduled for Wednesday have been postponed, and U.S. mediators will now contact the two old foes separately, Israeli and Lebanese officials said on Monday.

The negotiations were launched in October with delegations convening at a U.N. base to try to resolve a dispute about their maritime border that has held up hydrocarbon exploration in the potentially gas-rich area.

“In the interim, they will do some shuttling in order to better prepare the next round of talks,” he told Israel’s Army Radio. Steinitz said last week there had been no breakthrough after four rounds of talks and that Lebanon had “so far presented positions which add up to a provocation”. He said he expected “many more hurdles and bust-ups” but hoped a breakthrough could be reached in a few months.

Israel is a land snatcher the whole world knows that. Palestine was not enough so now Lebanon is next. With few advanced weapons from America it thinks it can conquer the world.

Never trust israel, a country built on stolen land.
