Nasrallah said, in a televised speech, “Our eyes and missiles are on the Karish field (in the disputed maritime border area),” adding, “We are monitoring the course of negotiations to demarcate the maritime borders” between Lebanon and Israel.
He added, “We sent a message away from the media that we are facing a problem if the extraction of gas from the Karish field begins.”

And last week, the company announced, in a statement, the postponement of gas extraction from the oil field adjacent to the Lebanese border, for several weeks, without explaining the reasons for this.
Nasrallah also stated, “We cannot allow the extraction of oil and gas from the Karish field before Lebanon obtains its rightful demands.”

Yesterday, Friday, the Israeli Ministry of Energy announced that it was “preparing to connect the Karish field reservoir with the Israeli system.”
According to the channel, the officials added that the next stage does not include starting to extract gas from the field.
The channel considered that the Israeli officials, through this redress, are interested in sending a message to “Hezbollah”, to persuade it not to create tensions.
