The Knesset Economics Committee will discuss Monday the "Maritime Areas Bill, 2017." The proposal discusses, among other things, the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf of the State of Israel, two issues related to the conflict with Lebanon over Mediterranean energy resources.

Although Lebanon is not mentioned explicitly in the bill, the proposal speaks of the definitions of the economic waters of the State of Israel. "Ensuring the development and utilization of the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf, including for the natural resources found therein," the proposal states.

The exclusive economic zone is increased in Article 9 of the bill. "The exclusive economic zone of the State of Israel is the Mediterranean Sea beyond the coastal waters up to 200 nautical miles from the baselines, including the seabed of the same strip." The exclusive economic zone of the State of Israel, an exclusive economic zone of another state, Of the State of Israel in the area overlapping between the territories, in an agreement with that State, and as long as such an agreement has not been reached - in accordance with the rules of international law. "

"There are therefore two options for defining the continental shelf, which can be defined as the sea floor and subsoil to the edge of the continent, or if the edge of the continent ends less than 200 nautical miles from the baselines, it can be defined as the sea floor and subsoil 200 nautical miles from the baselines, a similar provision also exists in the continental shelf charter, "the proposal states, based on the Sea Convention.

"In the geographical features of the State of Israel, the edge of the Mediterranean continent ends at a distance of less than 200 nautical miles, and therefore it is proposed to adopt the alternative definition mentioned above and to determine that the continental shelf of the State of Israel is the Mediterranean Sea - the sea floor (beyond the coastal waters, up to 200 nautical miles from the baselines), and there is a reservation regarding Israeli sovereignty: "It should be emphasized that the application of the State Property Law to natural resources in the exclusive economic zone does not constitute a claim to sovereignty in that area.

A critical section of legislation is Chapter I, Article 30, which states that the Government, through the Israel Mapping Center, will determine the geographic points on or near the coastline that will be used to determine the baselines from which marine areas are measured and may inform in its decision the end of all marine areas Some of them.

This means that until the borders of the shared territories at the sea with Egypt and Lebanon are regulated in negotiations, the State of Israel can determine exclusively the limits of its exclusive economic zone - and thus its right to energy resources in that area.

Sounds problematic.

Israel is an illegal entity with expansionist and terrorist designs. It needs to be undone for peace in this world.

Nonsense. There's no gas fields between the Egyptian EEZ line an the Israeli one. Neither is there in the contested EEZ line between Lebanon and Israel and the one between Egypt, Gaza and Israel is defined and not disputed. This is nothing but a bunch of instigating that you people love to do.

So there aren't any gas fields that cross the EEZ lines which is what this whole babalaka is all about with the exception of Aphrodite in Cyprus and the potential of the gas fields in the Gaza exclusive zone, which it sounds like your parliament wants to steal from it. Is that what they're trying to do here, not only dispute the Palestinian lands but their gas also?

Look at this map again and familiarize yourself with the situation. Aphrodite in Cyprus and the gas fields near the Gaza EEZ are the only ones that have been discovered so far that have potential for the fields to cross over into the other side. And the only disputed line is with Lebanon. Egyptian one is a clearly defined EEZ line of demarcation.

It's not about can or can't

Trust me they don't WANT to
As far as Egypt it will give them the waters on a golden plate ( remember the islands lol )

Now that you know it's a bunch of useless BS, you can change your tune.

Also, since you want to show off your knowledge about a subject that sounds like you have 0 clue about, tell us all about the islands. What do you know about them and what was "given on a golden plate?"

You have time to do some internet research and come back and let us know what you're talking about. Let's see if you have a single clue or you're just jumping the anti-Egyptian bandwagon out of ignorance. I'll be waiting.

Hiii
The bill says that Israel gets to define it's territorial area and what assets it claims even without the claim of sovereignty and
1) Egypt consistently blocked Gaza
2) never condemned Israel beyond normal UN BS
3) they just signed a gas contract with israel worth billions ( normally no problem but considering they had alternatives and yet choose the expensive israel pricing that's a problem look it up )
4) hmmm the two islands that were given to Saudis check their geographic location and see from a strategic view just how important those islands are and to whom exactly and why now ( why not under Mubarak did the purchase take place )
Btw how come Lebanon entered a public dispute on the matter claiming rights while your government mouth is sealed shut ( ohh And lebanon is not as half powerful as Egypt nor as half big )and don't get me wrong even as just a regional player without any actual claims Egypt had it's mouth wide open about the cyprus and turkish dispute so how come?
And ohhh you are right it is knowledge and knowledge change and I would be happy to have my knowledge checked and corrected so don't get angry I'm happy to discuss but remember it improves till it becomes absolute facts so i will be happy to discuss till we reach the facts
And ohhh I am NOT anti Egypt and frankly I don't care about the country but it has a role so it's in my crosshairs lol
