Hizbullah's Naim Qassem: They must bear in mind that Lebanon will not tolerate having its oil seized and will restore all its rights no matter the cost.
“They must bear in mind that Lebanon will not tolerate having its oil seized and will restore all its rights no matter the cost," Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said yesterday, claiming that Israel wants to deprive Lebanon of its water, gas and oil resources.
Qassem added, “Hezbollah will support Lebanon’s government in all its decisions and choices regarding the demarcation of maritime borders locally, regionally and internationally."
The remarks came after Israel cabinet approved on Sunday a map demarcating the borders of Israel's exclusive economic zone in the Mediterranean. Lebanon disputes the border.
