i24 reports that Israel’s Chief Justice Esther Hayut and Justice Uzi Vogelman on Thursday expressed doubts about the arguments against the maritime border deal with Lebanon recently approved by the Israeli government.
During a High Court of Justice hearing on the agreement, an attorney for the Kohelet Forum argued that Israel’s Basic Law required a referendum to approve the deal that is expected to be signed by Lebanon next week, when the US mediator Amos Hochstein travels to the Middle East.
