posted in uncategorized nicholas noe in responsible statecraft sea border talks between israel and lebanon on verge of imminent collapse april 12 2022 written by nicholas noe when president biden appointed his personal friend and former obama administration energy coordinator amos hochstein as his own energy envoy last summer it seemed that the decades old deadlock between lebanon and israel over their sea boundary and potentially tens of billions of dollars in energy resources might finally be resolved hochstein was assumed to be trusted by the israelis he was born in israel and served in the idf in the early 1990s he was perceived positively by some of the main lebanese actors as a foe of a former u s envoy ambassador frederic hof who had tabled a deal ten years before known as the hof line boundary that was widely seen in lebanon as exceptionally unfair and he came with a deep background in the complexities of the energy sector perhaps most importantly however the biden administration seemed hungry to claim a success in the arab israeli conflict although a mutually agreed upon sea boundary between lebanon and israel would fall far short of any abraham accord type arrangement such a deal would represent a un recognized boundary between a democratically elected arab government and israel given the extensive power of the armed lebanese political party hezbollah which israel considers its most formidable non state enemy the removal of a large offshore area from the regular military exchanges between the two sides onshore would also help to structurally diminish the prospects of another devastating war in the middle east something the biden administration very much wants to avoid unfortunately eight months on according to several senior lebanese officials directly involved in the negotiations the deal that hochstein unveiled a few weeks ago in beirut one which apparently has israel s blessing falls far short of lebanon s minimum acceptable position as a result the talks are in imminent danger of collapsing perhaps in the coming weeks asked about this prospect the state department and u s embassy in beirut both declined to comment read

lebanon s maritime boundary politics and history maritime mediation between lebanon and israel looking beyond the hof line laury haytayan autumn 2020 while lebanese were expecting to hear the news of the formation of a new government that will save the country from its worst economic financial social and political crises they were surprised to learn that the lebanese authorities have agreed upon us mediation to start negotiations with israel to resolve matters a delegation surprised everyone with its legally grounded proposal lebanon did not recognize the already known 860 square kilometer disputed zone but claimed 1 430 additional square kilometers that include a substantial part of the karish field supposedly in israeli waters in what was called the maximalist claim of lebanon israel for its part was expecting an easy ride it was expecting to negotiate over the 860 square kilometers divide the area fairly and move on after all that was the proposal made by ambassador frederic c hof in 2012 when he was leading the mediation between both countries a blast from the past the hof line you cannot mention the maritime border dispute between lebanon and israel without mentioning frederic hof lebanese know him as the designer of the so called hof line that gave lebanon 55 of the disputed zone a solution that did not succeed as lebanon did not finalize the deal this is why many of us read with great interest hof s narrative of what happened back in 2012 in an op ed of the financial times and in a long essay published in newlines magazine after the launch of the negotiations in this respect we believe that it is only fair to the process that was undertaken a decade ago and download the original pdf here maritime mediation between lebanon and israel looking beyond the hof

current crisis my warontherocks article was prompted by a range of pieces since the 2019 protests in lebanon that in an admirable attempt to center lebanese agency at the heart of the country s problems actually have largely erased the overwhelming often negative role of external sides the piece is here https warontherocks com facing up to foreign i cite a number of authors writing for synapse chatham house to a recent ny times piece i would add another that needs to be examined from 2020 https theguardian com lebanon political corruption in khatib s piece we thankfully at least have visible the role of external actors including western ones but note how their roles are repeatedly minimized softened in her configuration the international community is partly responsible for sustaining this system foreign support is not the problem per se but rather when it is handed on a plate unconditionally and finally her call for the international community to abandon their tacit support of a disastrous political status quo even when she gently adds the notion that perhaps outside actors are nurturing the pathologies the prospect of any malign self interest isn t raised sure they nurture tacitly support the disastrous system for stability as she notes but the fact of foreign actors financial interests actively profiting from maximizing local power is absent in this construction france the us as but two examples have allowed a bad system to continue but only because of their higher purpose of wanting stability but this is only part of the case one which properly understood sees outside actors not just as tacitly supporting but rather actively driving and for quite a long time lebanon s cancerous system a further missing piece in all of these articles the responsibility of the lebanese people themselves there is now a renewed great debate in advance of the hoped for elections about why or if again lebanese will largely re elect their leaders who are said to be disasters this issue is critical to delve into for any robust understanding of the problems at hand finally my piece wasn t able to flesh out some policy recs in the space i was given but in regards to my call for the us europe to bring carrots sticks to bear in negotiating a mutual ceasefire over the next elections the key move here if an agreement btw the many external internal sides involved in the electoral power struggle could be reached this should be aimed for at least would be for the us and europe to focus resources on the integrity of the elections and electoral systems themselves so not on candidates and sides which are purported to be more pro western than others this would mean breaking with the decades of practice of favoring our man in beirut or specific sides and personalities a practice which has repeatedly failed in any case and focusing resources and capital on what matters in the long term strong accountable independent institutions even if this means more figures succeed who are skeptical or critical of the west or are just more nationalistic for example this approach which of course should be combined w policies addressing the root causes of conflict in the region takes flexibility and patience as well as admitting that the past approach was a failure for outside interests like the us as well as for lebanon the biden admin recently sanctioned jihad al arab incredibly the first time in the modern era that the us sanctions one of its purported allies in the country david schenker said all of them means all of them but we know he trump didn t actually mean it lets see if this is the start of a new approach i wrote about an alternative ahead of the 20 election here https cadmus eui eu handle 1814 68378 share this share on
