Lebanon president: Israel comment on offshore energy is 'threat to Lebanon'
BEIRUT - Lebanon's President Michel Aoun on Wednesday said Israeli comments urging firms not to bid on a Lebanese offshore energy tender were "a threat to Lebanon."
Earlier on Wednesday Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman described Lebanon's offshore oil and gas licensing process as "very provocative" and urged international firms not to bid.
"Lieberman's words about Block 9 are a threat to Lebanon and its right to sovereignty over its territorial waters," Aoun said on his official Twitter account.
