Raad: If We're Not Drilling for Gas, Israel Won't be Able to Do So
The head of Hizbullah’s Loyalty to Resistance bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, has announced that Israel will not be able to explore for offshore gas if Lebanon is not also doing the same in its territorial waters.
“The American mediator came to Lebanon over the past days to play the role of the fox in the splitting of the cheese between the rivals,” Raad said during a memorial service in the southern town of Kfar Fila.
“He’s telling that it is possible that that gas field would be shared between us and the Israelis, in order to be able to explore for gas in our territorial waters,” Raad added.
“We say that our gas will remain buried in our waters until we manage to prevent the Israelis from extending their hands even to a single drop of our waters,” the lawmaker went on to say.
“We are not impotent, and let the enemy and those communicating with it -- be them mediators or not – know that the Israelis will not be able to drill for gas next to us unless we explore for gas and invest in it as we want,” Raad stressed.

God bless our Shia resistance and its MP Mohammad Raad whose words fall like thunder on the ears of the Saudi-American-Israeli-Somali-Bengali-Nigeeri-Bahraini-Emirati-Ukrani coalition.
Let it be known our Shia resistance and in accordance with the constitution will make sure through its military superiority and strategic acumen the Israeli Zionist enemy will be prevented from exploring or drilling for offshore gas even if it means Lebanon will not be able to drill or explore its own gas.
Mr. Raad and the resistance are full of gas and do not need natural gas to fuel our economy.
Shia Shea Shia !!!

Ive got news for you, Raad. Israel is already drilling, and have been drilling for a very long time. And they have discovered. And they are producing. I guess you will look upon it as a divine victory if " our gas will remain buried in our waters"
