Nasrallah sees 'some positivity' in demarcation file, warns over 'game of time'

Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday said that after the return of U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein to Lebanon, the stances of the Lebanese state and Hezbollah were in harmony as to the “limited time” left to reach an agreement.

“We will give the border demarcation file some time to see where things are heading. Time is limited and in light of the answer we will act,” Nasrallah said in a Ashoura sermon, adding that Hezbollah has “sensed some positivity.”

“America must pay attention to the game of time, the stances of the Lebanese state and the resistance are the same and things have not been settled yet,” Nasrallah added, noting that one should not claim that the negotiations have succeeded before sensing something tangible.

And stressing that Hezbollah “will continue to seek solutions for our country and people,” Nasrallah underlined that his group will not allow anyone to “take the country to civil war.”
