Nasrallah says Hezbollah to maintain readiness until deal with Israel is signed
Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday cautiously welcomed the Lebanese, Israeli and American declarations about an imminent sea border demarcation deal between Lebanon and Israel, noting that his group will maintain its military readiness until the final agreement is signed by the two sides.
“We are awaiting the declaration of the official stance by the president… We are awaiting the official stance of the enemy's government. What's important is what will happen tomorrow in the meeting of Israel's cabinet,” Nasrallah said in a televised address marking the Prophet’s Birthday.
“We will await the official stances and only after the agreement is signed we can say that we have a deal,” Nasrallah added.
“Until the Lebanese see the delegations going to Naqoura on TV, we must remain cautious,” he urged.
Dismissing accusations, Nasrallah added: “It is strange that some in Israel and in the Arab media are claiming that Hezbollah wants to sabotage the deal. We have no problem when the Lebanese officials say that the agreement meets the Lebanese demands.”
“We only care about the extraction of oil and gas from Lebanese waters and our stance on demarcation is known,” Hezbollah’s leader went on to say, noting that he does not recognize Israel’s border.
“Tonight we will not issue threats. Tonight there will only be joy and clapping,” Nasrallah added.
As for the funds that will be yielded by Lebanon’s potential gas resources, Hezbollah’s leader called for benefiting from “the experiences of the countries that have sovereign funds,” while noting that Hezbollah is among those who have concerns over how the funds will be managed.
“We must all immunize the funds” that will come from the gas resources, Nasrallah urged.

"our stance on demarcation is known" what the hell does this mean? Is this an oblique way for him and his Iranian militia to, sometime in the future, use line 29 conceded to the Israelis by Aoun and Berri, as a kind of maritime Sheebaa farm and another excuse to keep his illegal sectarian foreign weapons?

Anyone who believes Hizbollah threats are helping Lebanon must have his head examined. Math 101 - Simple Math that anyone can verify:
A peaceful well governed nation can get loans at 2% yearly interest. Political instability increases interest to 6%-10% for same loan. In a country controlled by a criminal militia funded by a belligerent country, interest will exceed 15%.
A loan payable in 30 years costs:
80% more if interest=2%
474% more if interest=6%
1645% more if interest=10%
6521% more if interest=15%
That is why all long-term investments dried up in Lebanon, our economy collapsed, businesses and country went bankrupt, and banking system destroyed. Thanks for Useful Idiots Ghada & Micho Aoun for taking us to hell while protecting Hizb criminal activity, risk to economy, and disabling interest rates. Every long-term project approved while HizbIran control Lebanon will be costing Lebanese and their children several times its actual cost.
