Israel’s prime minister says that the country has reached an “historic agreement” with neighboring Lebanon — a rare deal between two countries that are bitter enemies — over their shared maritime border.
It’s a rare agreement between. But the deal still faces some obstacles, including some expected legal challenges in Israel. There was no immediate confirmation by Lebanon that a deal had been reached.
