Bassil: Who allowed Geagea to Renounce Rights?
Local Editor
Energy and Water Minister Jebran Bassil stated that"we have not started oil exploration since 2010 until now because a law on oil exploration has not been approved up till now."
Accusing former PM Saad Hariri's government of intentionally delaying the drafting of the law, Bassil stressed that "under the new government, a new law is being drafted without delay, that's why no one should ... start launching accusations in this regard."
Following talks with Speaker Nabih Berri in Ain al-Tineh, Bassil hit back at Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, over remarks made by the latter earlier in the day on the issue of Lebanon's maritime resources.
"Who allowed him (Geagea) to renounce our rights and jeopardize Lebanon's borders, sovereignty and resources?" Bassil asked.
Bassil said "the question should not be addressed to someone who is trying to defend these rights, but to those who are squandering these resources."
