Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun expressed his desires to the Qatari Prime Minister for the swift continuation of oil and gas exploration by TotalEnergies off Lebanon's coast. This comes after QatarEnergy joined forces with TotalEnergies and Italy's Eni in 2023 to explore two maritime blocks for resources.
