Nasrullah threatens Israel of maching 'madness for madness'

The secretary general of the Lebanese Hizbullah party Hassan Nasrullah considered that the negotiations to exchange prisoners and detainees will be given a new impetus in light of the decision of the mini Israeli cabinet to continue negotiations.

He indicated that "until before two weeks ago, every thing was settled except the names, however, the Israeli side asked for patience because of internal problems." He added "we have heard today ( yesterday, Friday) that they will continue the negotiations, therefore it is presumed that the last phase linked to the names will end."

He set a precondition on the Israelis "to release all Jordanian prisoners, before completing the agreement with Hizbullah, if they want to hand them to the Jordanian government and not within a comprehensive deal."

Nasrullah considered that the recent Israeli aggression against Syria is a grave development. He said "if Sharon has got mad, there are also people who are ready to be mad. Sharon's madness will be met with a similar madness."
