自1948年以色列國建國以來,以色列國和黎巴嫩共和國都聲稱對兩國海岸330平方英里的區域擁有主權,造成問題的主要原因是該區域蘊藏著豐富的天然資源,其中包括卡納油田(英语:Qana gas reservoirs)和卡里什氣田(阿拉伯语:حقل كاريش للغاز),是東地中海的石油與天然氣產區。而在2010年,在以色列國在周圍海岸發現大量的礦藏後,邊界問題演變成了一場真正的爭端,黎巴嫩政府認為這些礦藏可能延伸到黎巴嫩的海域,[3]因此在2011年,黎巴嫩政府向聯合國提交了邊界主張,聲稱了部分海域的主權,黎巴嫩政府的立場認為,海上邊界線應沿著陸地邊界進一步標記,而以色列的立場則認為邊界線應與海岸呈90度角標記,爭端至此爆發。[4]
