By Staff, Agencies

Ahead of Thursday night’s speech of Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Nasrallah, which will tackle the latest development on the maritime border dispute with the occupation entity, the Zionist regime’s establishment rushed to issue an official stance in an attempt to calm tension with Lebanon, assuring that it won’t cross into the disputed areas.

The Zionist entity’s ministers of war, foreign affairs, and energy on Wednesday said in a joint statement amid tensions regarding the arrival of a floating production, storage and offloading unit from the power company Energean in the disputed Karish field which the Tel Aviv regime claims to be part of its occupied economic zone, that ‘Israel’ "will not pump gas from the disputed area.”

The occupation regime’s ministers also called on Lebanon “to speed up the negotiations on the maritime border.”

On Monday, Lebanon sent an invitation to the American mediator of the Lebanese-‘Israeli’ maritime borders negotiations Amos Hochstein to come to Lebanon.

During a Lebanese Parliament session Tuesday, Speaker Nabih Berri said that the envoy is expected in Beirut on “Sunday or Monday.”

However, the United States Department spokesman Ned Price replied to saying that no visit to Lebanon is planned at this time.

Sayyed Nasrallah’s live speech on the latest political developments is set to be aired on Thursday, June 9th, 2022 at 20:35 Beirut time.
