Hizbullah Secretary General Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah has warned that if his demands in the negotiations over the maritime border with Israel were not met,  the terror organization would escalate tensions.   “The issues of the maritime border, the Karish gas field and the issues of oil and gas—are unrelated to the nuclear agreement,” Nasrallah said with respect to the recent exchange of proposals between the world powers and Iran.  “If Lebanon gets what it wants, there will be quiet. If not, we will escalate.”  The dispute between Israel and Lebanon centers over demarcation of the maritime border in the Mediterranean sea. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Middle East strategic intelligence  analyst Avi Melamed and asked him how seriously we should take the Hizbullah threats.
