Has Lebanon recognised Israel? | Inside Story
Israel and Lebanon have signed an agreement laying out their maritime border for the first time. The U.S. brokered deal will enable both countries to explore for gas and oil offshore.

But Lebanon describes it as a technical agreement. What are the political implications, if any? Presenter: Dareen Abughaida Guests Walid Fakhreddine, media expert and political activist.
