IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi has  warned Hizbullah against acting on its threat to attack either the Karish drilling platform or any other Israeli target.  An unnamed Israeli political official said that Israel intended to “operate Karish the moment the work is completed, and any attack on the platform will be met with our response,” adding, “The Lebanese government needs to make a decision.”   US Special Envoy  Amos Hochstein, after talks last week with Israeli and Lebanese officials,  spoke optimistically about the Israeli-Lebanese negotiations and said that very good progress had been made. Senior Lebanese officials also said that most of the issues have been resolved. The right-wing Jerusalem-based policy forum Kohelet says a referendum must be held to approve any agreement with Lebanon on a maritime border.
