The parties involved to the EEZ were signatories to UNCLOS all parties that established these borders DID agree to it. Even though Israel isn't a signatory to UNCLOS it would seem to me they also agreed by not disputing it.

Not at all, the maritime borders are fixed for cyprus (apart from what is claimed but not recognised in relation to northern cyprus and disputes over British soveriegn bases)so no proposal of any sort between either them or Israel or Lebanon is going to have any bearing on that, they are fixed between coast lines and coast lines only move by nature or by a lot of work. The only issue regarding them is that they have to accept a position where the two other parties agreed maritime border in intersects their own border. Those two parties maritime border must be based on where their agreed land border meets the sea and must be an agreed extension of that.
Since there is no agreed land border then there can be no agreed maritime border as there is nowhere to start it from.
See, UNCLOS cannot work for fixing maritime borders like this when there is nothing at the baseline for it to work off of.

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.

But that never happened, it was never established and there was no agreement.

If I'm mistaken this is old news all the hub bub over the border happened 5 years ago.

The hubub over the border has been going on for well over 60 years.

Like I said, look at the bigger picture and all the players involved and then look at news events this month.
