Hundreds of people and several lawmakers protested Saturday in southern Lebanon against Israel moving a gas production vessel into an offshore field partly claimed by Beirut.

The demonstration came two days before the US envoy mediating maritime border talks between the two neighbors is expected in Lebanon, and after the ship operated by London-listed Energean Plc arrived at the Karish gas field last week.

Several hundred people waved Lebanese and Palestinian flags in Lebanon’s border town of Naqoura to protest Israel’s claim on the area where the Karish field is located, an AFP correspondent said.

I don't have any faith in Hochstein currently. I'm sure that under ordinary circumstances he might be extraordinary; however, I seem him telling Israel to eat crap.
