In a diplomatic breakthrough, both Israel and Lebanon agreed earlier this month to hold negotiations over the fate of so-called bloc-9 of a dispute off-shore gas-field. The talks will be mediated by the United States, and held under United Nations auspices. Hopefully, if deemed successful, some of the tensions between Jerusalem and Beirut will be alleviated.
To discuss the anticipate talks, we are joined by Dr. Mordechai Nisan, Retired lecture on Middle East Studies at Hebrew University Jerusalem and Dr. Eran Lerman, Vice president of the Jerusalem Institute of Strategy and Security and a lecturer at Shalem College. Analyst Amir Oren. Host Jonathan Hessen.
