The Hezbollah secretary-general emphasized that the Resistance is capable on all levels to prevent the Israeli enemy from extracting gas and oil in the Karish field.

Iran PressMiddle East: Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah is giving a televised speech on Al-Manar TV on Thursday evening to tackle Lebanon’s maritime wealth.

Sayyed Nasrallah said, "The maritime wealth in our territorial waters is the only remaining hope to salvage Lebanon from the economic collapse. The first threat endangering this wealth is the potential seizure by the Zionist entity of a great area of our maritime border. The second threat is preventing Lebanon from extracting gas and oil from its maritime border. The third threat is emptying the field from gas and oil by the enemy and other states in the region."

"We don’t have much time and the more days we are late the more wealth we are losing. All in Lebanon have to act with high responsibility to defend the country’s maritime wealth," he added. "Hezbollah has been since 2000 laying the responsibility of maritime border demarcation on the Lebanese State. Lebanon has the ultimate right to invest in its maritime wealth."

"Lebanon’s maritime wealth is no less important than liberating the country’s occupied south in 2000," Sayyed Nasrallah stated.
