It is Lebanon admitting they had made a mistake establishing and agreeing to this border of which they had all opportunity to change PRIOR to signing the treaty. Unfortunately for Lebenon even after all their whinning even UNCLOS told them to pack sand along time ago.
If I'm mistaken this is old news all the hub bub over the border happened 5 years ago. Why its news now is beyond me. I say we sack the SUBSIM news editor Vendor for publishing it.

As far as i can tell agreeing on sea borders is very fluid(lol)business.
I think that every country that want to have sea border dispute with its neighbour can do so easily.
Technically Israel and Lebanon are in state of war and Lebanon is simply playing a game.
Lebanon has nothing to lose here.
Border had been agreed to by both parties before the discovery of gas period.
No occupied territories are issue here because its been quite long time since Israel withdrew from south Lebanon.
