"America may be trying to take advantage of the fact that Israel has a weak interim government to try to pressure them into making diplomatic concessions and then show Iran that [the U.S.] is trying to do something … to boost the Iranian nuclear deal," stated Eugene Kontorovich, professor of law at George Mason University.
Observers worry that Israel's interim government led by Yair Lapid cannot give the maritime dispute with Lebanon the necessary attention, given the makeup of the government. Israel has elections in November.
