The "historic" agreement is about to be signed which will put an end to the long and difficult dispute over the maritime borders between Israel and Lebanon.
The impasse of last week which had led to a setback of the agreement between the two countries, which are technically still at war, therefore seems to have been overcome.
The announcement was made by Israel's negotiator and national security adviser, Eyal Hulata: the compromise, which will concern that portion of the Mediterranean waters particularly rich in gas, stems from a proposal made by the United States.
The project drawn up by the States met the requests of Jerusalem that "have been satisfied: the changes we had asked for have been corrected" - reads the note issued.
"We have protected Israel's security interests and are on the way to a historic agreement."
After receiving Washington's proposal to resolve the issue from the American special envoy Amos Hochstein, Beirut had in fact made requests for changes, rejected by the Israeli premier who had positively accepted the original US draft.
Indirect talks continued over the weekend and the response of the Jewish state to the final draft arrived.
