Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah accused Israel Tuesday of wavering in discussions over a prisoner swap and, without exactly explaining what he meant, threatened to take a different course. 

 

"The Israelis are hesitating to carry out the prisoner exchange," said Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah. "Time is pressing, and that means that we could turn toward a new choice." 

 

"I say it clearly - We cannot any longer tolerate wavering," Nasrallah said in a speech aired by the Lebanon-based Al-Manar television. 

 

Nasrallah insisted that "our conditions are clear and definite and we have nothing more to say, and we have promised the families of those held that we will bring them home by negotiation, if not by other means." (Albawaba.com)
