Qaouq Urges President Who Can Fortify Lebanon against 'Israeli, Takfiri Aggressions'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Deputy head of Hizbullah's Executive Council Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Sunday stressed his party's insistence on the election of a new president, noting that the Lebanese have a chance to choose their next head of state with a “purely Lebanese will.”
“The Lebanese are before an extraordinary opportunity to elect a president for the republic with a 100% Lebanese will,” Qaouq said during a Hizbullah ceremony in the South.
“We strongly insist on the election of a new president and reject any extension of the current president's term, as this is a final and well-known stance and we won't back down from it,” the Hizbullah official added.
He pointed out that the national interest and the “critical period” require the election of a president who can “protect Lebanon's identity, position and national role.”
The new president must be “entrusted with strengthening Lebanon's position in the face of the Israeli and takfiri aggressions,” Qaouq went on to say.
“This is how we understand the presidential juncture and we will perform our national duties accordingly.”
The constitutional timeframe to elect a successor to President Michel Suleiman began on March 25, amid the president's refusal of any extension of his term -- which ends May 25.
Hizbullah had boycotted a March 31 national dialogue session following a war of words with the president over the so-called army-people-resistance equation.
The party's secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has said that Suleiman's “latest stances have made him lose his role as national dialogue moderator.”

Qauoq: We need a President who can fortify Lebanon against your terror party, Syrian and Iranian aggression. We need a President that can make decisions that are purely Lebanese and not be afraid to look you and your likes in the eye and say enough is enough.

Abass - let us assume parliament elects a presidentt that insists on the state primacy over internal and national security affairs. Let assume that he demands that the decision of war is in the hand of the state. Let us assume that he sets limit to the scope of operations of the Hizb. Let us assume he demands that the Hizb militia becomes answerable to the Lebanese army and not to Iranian Mullah. He will then be declared to be a Zionist takfiri and Qaouk will be calling for his head. The biggest danger to Lebanon is the Hizb.

Roar. Your post is head on, kudos for thinking freely, not blindly following one camp in all its positions.
And you know what? the best thing that can happen for moslems, wether they are sunnis or shias is that christians elect a strong pres. strengthening of christians is the garantee of a moderate progressive state.

Mr. Qaouq, do you really have to come and spoil our peaceful Sunday. What Israeli aggression, Israel is out of our lands, you Sir keep provoking it to extricate you from the Takfiri beast that you managed to create in the first place. The president is none of your business Sir, except if it is still your wish to have a rubber stamper for your agendas. Mr. Quaouk, these are indeed hard times for you, President Suleiman has been steadfast in his patriottic stands, now you felt that Aoun could have had a sporting chance, but it was an illusion, now look at what you created again, Geagea Hakim, he now has even more chances to become president, so what will you do, now that you got yourself the one major warlord that stood for years on your way? Leave us in peace Mr Quaouk, nothing you say holds any wayer these days. Leave Syria, join the political fold and hand over your weapons to the LAF and let's all live in peace, as one people.

LF, there's always a minimum decorum in a forum. No matter how we may dislike a figure, we are duty bound to keep respect in public, lest we forget that people do read the forum. I can't speak for others, but I believe that my messgae is best transmitted respecting this minimum requirement.

The only takfiris are him, his hizb, and those who follow his ideology. After you went to Syria and unleashed your sectarian venom and killed their women and children they came to Lebanon and became a security threat. They are only targeting you and your areas the same way you target their villages and their civilians. Spare us your filth

Qaouq and NasrIran are the future of Lebanon.
Soon, with the weapons of Iran and demography, we'll be a khomeynist republic...

Geagea is 100% mass murder. We will get a good President, that focuses on a fit army, and a supporter of Resistance, you will see.

Who in the hell is this clown Qaouq? He forgot to urge Lebanon to find a President who can fortify it from Iran, Hezbollah and Syria- what a joke
