Bassil lauds resistance as strong point for Lebanon in demarcation file

FPM chief Jebran Bassil said Thursday that the resistance is a strong point for Lebanon "if we know how to use it."

"We want to preserve national dignity and sovereignty," Bassil said in a short recorded video that he posted on his twitter account.

He considered that people have misinterpreted his "Karish for Qana" equation.

"Do you want your gas? We also want our gas," Bassil said.

In a televised speech on Wednesday, Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had announced a new equation, threatening to "flip the table on the entire world" if Lebanon does not get allowed to benefit from its offshore oil and gas resources.

"The new equation is Karish, what’s beyond Karish and what’s beyond, beyond Karish," Nasrallah said.
