Nasrallah warns of sea border 'escalation' if Lebanon demands not met
Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday threatened anew that there would be an “escalation” if Lebanon does not get what it wants in the sea border negotiations with Israel.
“If the Lebanese state is not given what it wants, we will be heading to an escalation, even if the nuclear agreement gets signed,” Nasrallah said in a televised address during a Hezbollah ceremony, referring to the possibility of a new nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers.
“Should the U.S. mediator come and give the Lebanese state what it wants, we will be heading to calm, regardless whether or not there will be a nuclear agreement,” Nasrallah said.
“The eyes of the Lebanese should not be on Vienna… The eyes should be on Karish, the sea border and northern Israel,” Hezbollah’s leader went on to say.
And charging that U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein is “still wasting time,” Nasrallah warned that “his time is running out.”

The Qarish gas field is definitely located in Lebanese waters, Aoun and mikati and their cliques are willing to give it away for the sake of remaining in power. The Iranian-funded terrorist-in-chief is right on this point.

Iran will cover any damage done in a war with Israel, so Lebanon will have no cost to the war, except for the dead of course. But Lebanon will fire rockets at all Israeli civilian centers to maximize loss of life on the Israeli side.

"Nasrallah If the Lebanese state is not given what it wants, we will be heading to an escalation."
As far as we can understand the Lebanese state wants Line 23 and the Qana gas field, and the Israelis agree to this.
So it is not now a problem between Lebanon and Israel, but a problem between Lebanon and the terrorist organisation that believes it controls the country, Hizballah.

"What happened with Salman Rushdie in the U.S. is a very important event..." Important, not unfortunate, tragic or countless other adjectives he could have used. But of course, its the mafia-terror boss speaking...
