“We don’t want a war. It will depend on the Israeli response”
The secretary general of the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, threatened on Tuesday evening to start a war if Israel did not allow Lebanon to exercise its rights over gas resources.
“There will be no oil production in the entire Israeli entity until Lebanon enjoys its rights,” he said at the annual meeting ahead of Ashura, a Muslim religious event.
“We don’t want a war. It will depend on the Israeli response,” he said, adding that “it is possible that Israel surrenders without Hezbollah’s action, but if it does, the things will degenerate into war”.
