Israel’s Supreme Court on Sunday rejected petitions that would have held up a landmark U.S.-brokered deal setting a maritime border with Lebanon.
Four groups, including an opposition lawmaker, had asked the court to force the government – which is looking to fast-track the deal ahead of a Nov. 1 election – to instead hold a full vote in parliament.
The court’s decision eliminates one of the last hurdles in Israel that could disrupt the deal.
