Gantz accuses Hezbollah of hindering border negotiations
Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Tuesday that Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is getting in the way of reaching a solution regarding the border demarcation between Lebanon and Israel.
"Nasrallah is obstructing the attempt to reach a solution," Gantz said, as he accused Hezbollah's chief of "harming the Lebanese and the energy sector."
Gantz added that Israel is seeking a solution with Lebanon, hoping that the situation wouldn't "devolve into a war or days of fighting."
"We must defend our right to extract gas without harming the Lebanese," he said.
