If Lebanon could extract its oil and gas, he added, it would have solved many of its problems, despite the ongoing financial meltdown.

The head of Hezbollah (Party of God), Hassan Nasralah, assured that Lebanon is the target of harassment by Washington that aims, aimed at, humiliating it and subjecting it to dictates favorable to the Tel Aviv regime.
