The ceremony for the Israel-Lebanon maritime border deal will be held on Thursday, US mediator Amos Hochstein said on Sunday evening. The cabinet is expected to authorize the maritime border deal with Lebanon on Thursday, after the High Court of Justice rejected petitions seeking to block it. The court blocked multiple petitions on Sunday, from two NGOs - Kohelet and Lavi - and Religious Zionist MK Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The cabinet vote was set for two weeks after the agreement was submitted to the Knesset for review, but not a vote, which was among the reasons the petitioners cited for stopping the agreement. The agreement is expected to be approved by an overwhelming majority of ministers.
