Israel-Lebanon sea border dispute looms over gas fields

I could see your point if Israel and Cyprus were the ones that drew up the borders. Lebanon would actually have a legitimate arguement if that were the case.

The arguement is that it takes all parties to have a legitimate agreement.

Lebanon's own government which agreed to and published these maritime borders.

You miss one key word there which makes all the difference, it comes between "these" and "maritime"

IMO the border is only now being argued a 'mistake' in an attempt to keep Israel from exploiting needed resources.

Look at the bigger picture. It is just politics, what has been in the news recently which brings in another country with its own border dispute and its own potential oil filed plus a country who is expecting a new oil terminal and refinery from any eventual pipeline out of those two countries?
