BEIRUT (Dispatches) – The
Zionist regime only understands the language of force, a top official with the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has said, expressing the movement’s preparedness for “all possibilities” in the face of the occupying entity’s threats.
Vice President of the Executive Council of Hezbollah Sheikh Ali Damoush said that the occupying regime’s threats against Lebanon are worthless in the face of the “stronger than ever” resistance in the Arab country, Lebanon’s al-Manar news network reported.
“We are confident in ourselves and in our strength and we are ready for all possibilities,” Sheikh Damoush said. “It is not possible for us to remain silent about our rights.”
Tensions have been running high between the occupying regime and Lebanon amidst setbacks in the maritime border negotiations.
According to a top source with the Zionist regime, Zionist prime minister Yair Lapid on Thursday rejected Lebanon’s proposed amendments to a U.S.-drafted agreement to resolve the long-time maritime border dispute over two offshore natural gas fields.
“If Hezbollah or someone else tries to harm Karish [rig] or threaten us, the negotiations on the maritime line will stop immediately,” Israeli media quoted the source as saying.
Also on Thursday, the Zionist war minister, Benny Gantz, ordered the readiness of the regime’s military for a possible war with Hezbollah in the northern regions of the occupied territories.
Gantz directed the regime’s military to “prepare for a scenario of escalation in the north, both offensively and defensively, given the developments in the negotiations on the maritime border,” the Israeli ministry of military affairs said in a statement.
Reacting to the developments, Sheikh Damoush maintained that the occupying regime does not understand the language of diplomacy and only recognizes the logic of force.
He went on to say that the unified Lebanese position based on resistance caused the Zionist to be in a “state of unprecedented confusion” and that is why the regime once again resorted to the language of threats and intimidation
