Mustaqbal Hits Back at Hizbullah: It Merely Prioritizes Iran's Interests
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Al-Mustaqbal Movement slammed on Thursday Hizbullah, accusing it of prioritizing its subordination to the Islamic Republic of Iran over the Arab identity and Lebanese interests.
The statement that was published in al-Mustaqbal newspaper, the mouthpiece of the Sunni party, lashed out at Hizbullah, stressing that the party's allegations against al-Mustaqbal movement is merely a new attempt to impose the developments in Yemen on Lebanon.
The statement stressed that Hizbullah's “hatred storm” in response to the Saudi-led Arab coalition against the Huthi rebels in Yemen only serves Iran, pointing out that it will have repercussions on the national interests of the Lebanese.
“Hizbullah condemned itself by drowning the Lebanese in a war of words,” the statement added, justifying al-Mustaqbal movement's counter response by considering it “an attempt to defuse the tension caused by those who are waging a campaign against Arabs and to defend Lebanon's Arab identity and the interests of the expats.”
“Al-Mustaqbal movement admits with pride its allegiance to the Arab nation, identity and unity that was adopted by the international legitimacy.”
The statement said that Hizbullah's “insults only tarnish Lebanon's image,” warning that “the party is turning a blind eye to clearly announcing its loyalty to Iran instead of the Arab nation.”
Hizbullah “is delusional if its thinks that adopting the exclusion and terror policy would shut the mouths of the Lebanese, who believe in Lebanon's sovereignty.”
“Al-Mustaqbal movement will always prioritize the nation and Arab countries over any foreign interest... it will always block the storm of hatred by Iran against Saudi Arabia and the rest to the Arab countries.”
Tensions recently flared between the Mustaqbal Movement and Hizbullah over Saudi Arabia's military operation against Yemen.
The former has backed the campaign, while the latter has slammed it as blatant interference in the country's affairs.
A war of words soon ensued between the two sides, with movement chief MP Saad Hariri declaring Saudi Arabia's right to defend Arab interests against Iran, while Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah vowed that the kingdom will suffer a defeat in its mission.
Despite the tensions, the two officials have repeatedly voiced their commitment to continuing the dialogue.
Tuesday's latest round of dialogue between the movement and party emphasized this commitment.
Saudi Arabia launched airstrikes in Yemen on March 25, announcing that it had put together a coalition of more than 10 countries, including five Gulf monarchies, for the military operation to defend Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansur Hadi's government against Huthi rebels.
It said that it will continue its operation Decisive Storm until Hadi is restored to power and the rebels, backed by Iran, are defeated.
On Wednesday, Hizbullah slammed al-Mustaqbal as a subservient to “the Saudi regime.”
“Al-Mustaqbal movement's attachment to the Saudi leadership and its efforts to satisfy it and defend it will not make us remain silent over an aggression of this magnitude against a brotherly Arab Muslim people” in Yemen, Hizbullah's media department said in a statement.
“The rhetoric of al-Mustaqbal movement gives the impression that this movement supports the extermination operations and mass murders that are being committed by the aggression's warplanes against innocent civilians,” the statement added.

I don't think Mostaqbals allies the Kataeb and Lebanese Forces care much about Arab identity, I thought they took pride in Phonician culture, yet they have no problem taking greasy arab oil cash.

At least they are not causing Fitnas across the Arab world by arming sectarian militias. I am a Lebanese Arab. What are you?

All Lebanese agreed on the Arab identity of Lebanon including shia.
so what are you talking about? is Lebanon farsi and we do not know it?

Actually I would rather see what someone like phoenix write about it, not you mostaqbali gentlemen.

We are part of the Arab world much as Christian Syrians, Christian Palestinians, Christian Jordanians, Coptic Egyptians, etc are. Some Christian Lebanese leaders are part of Iran.

Before the Iranian revolution we were nobody, the bottom of the food chain in Lebanon, working for all sects for minimum wages, those times are over. I believe the Resistance and M8 is more patriotic than all M14 combined, they withstood the Israeli occupation, they are the ones holding the takfiris at bay now.

If i am a nobody vulture, then how come I have to see you whine about the people I support every single day? Nobodys do not get that sort of attention.

Mystic - you have just admitted your sectarian agenda. So please stop talking nonsense about resistance. Also before the so called revolution, and I know you are too young and too unread to realize, it was the lebanese national movement that fought to correct many of the injustices against Shia including the Baath parties whose member your HA hunted down and assassinated.

KSA policy has never been a terribly good one on a whole slew of issues. But in the face of the predatory policies of Iran toward the Arab world, I stand against Iran and reluctantly with Saudi Arabia. I know you stand 100 percent with Iran but almost everyone knows you for what you are: a sectarian person whose primary loyalty is to his sect and to the supreme leader.

Wake up, Lebanons whole constitution and politics are based on secterianism, that is the Taef Agreement.

Another answer that has no relation to the post it is supposed to answer. But at least you show your sectarian color and it has nothing to do with resistance but sectarian domination.

Fighting the Wahabis, while supporting the real sunnis against them and Israel. Ofcourse for Mostaqbalis wahabis are the real ones right?

From the Gospel of St John:
"For God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but so that through him the world might be saved.
No one who believes in him will be judged; but whoever does not believe is judged already, because that person does not believe in the Name of God's only Son.
And the judgement is this: though the light has come into the world people have preferred darkness to the light because their deeds were evil.
And indeed, everybody who does wrong hates the light and avoids it, to prevent his actions from being shown up;
But whoever does the truth comes out into the light, so that what he is doing may plainly appear as done in God.'

All those who proclaim wars and violence and encourage hatred are evil souls and will be judged and prevented from the light of God.

yemen is lost to iran and they know it. the UN resolution under chapter 7 leaves no doubt about it. even russia did not block it :)
the problem is that iran and its followers have lost their marbles while discovering that their dreams about the farsi empire are gone.
the iranians and their followers seem to forget that Yemen is an Arab country.
the next step will be to recover syria from them, then Lebanon. (maybe Lebanon first?)

Yemen was never Iran's to be lost to it. It was however under saudi domination for decades, and this is definitely over now. Sit back and watch while your kingdom of corruption, greed, hatred and filth collapses.

Are you also a supporter of Saudi-sponsored democracy for Lebanon? Please tell us how you envision it. Would it be achieved through Hariri's willpower alone, or would it require some collaboration with your israeli masters?

Caporal and FPM ministers are willing to quit the Government.
To all Christians : do you understand that the Caporal is destroying further the institutions and creating more void and chaos.
The Caporal is destroying the Christians for the next 100 years.
Christians Wake up.

And how many "supporters of the hezb" do you know? Can you tell us if they are also supporters of saudi wahhabia spreading democracy in the world?

mowaten, I noticed lately you are very hurt and holding in a lot of hate and anger. Is it because your huthis are getting hammered in Yemen and for the first time you started to understand how it feels to be on the receiving end of huge aircraft bombs falling on your head? I sense a high level of frustration whereby you jump from one poster to the other and just post nonsense unlike your unbiased secular comments of days past.

The brewing dispute between Hezbollah and Mustaqbal does lend concern to worry, just a week or so ago we had a dialog that was greeted by all, now this? This just shows that our Muslim siblings will always fight for the non-Lebanese first and very little for Lebanon. Let us have our new president and make sure that at least some institutions still work as our siblings are busy arguing.

I see this more of a political strategic dispute not just among our moslem partners. We should all be concerned. What is the meaning of nasrallah's first speech and what will be the meaning of his speech tomorrow other than attacking (insulting) KSA, hurting Lebanese interests in the gulf, and causing us more enemies. Yes, we are all concerned about Yemen, but we have our own problems and people are fed up with nasrallah paralyzing our lives, taking us to wars, and destroying our economy.
16 April 2015, 14:06
27
But you see, Nasrallah doesn't care what you and I think. He takes orders directly from Khamenei, and right now, the Iranian interests in Yemen are at risk, so he's barking louder and louder, at the expense of Lebanese interests in the Gulf.

Actually, I love Iran, The beautiful, Iran, The artists, the live and contemporary, the classical iranian music, the iranian writers, the free women an men. The educated, the open minded business men and women, the Iran that takes care of itself rather than looking at other countries to export religious beliefs and armed Militias.

To our brothers in Naharnet,
is it a movie? We disagree but we are not going to fight. AND NO MATTER what, Lebanese are brothers and we should protect each other.
PLEASE REDUCE THE tit for tat, even if trie, here. WE ARE FED by violence, Iran might agree with the west and the KSA, and we are still debating furiously, and hands are on each other necks and you are happy to sit and watch. Hope this gets better in the future.
Again, We love Iran, the free as much the same as KSA the open and prosper, but Lebanon must be first. for lebanese.

mustaqbal is merely stating facts: hezbollah works for the interests of iran not Lebanon, never Lebanon....
16 April 2015, 19:15

This is what benefactors do. Hezbollah, on behalf of Iran, attacks Saudi Arabia in the Lebanese media over Saudi involvement in Yemen. Mustaqbel responds, in defense of Saudi Arabia, in the Lebanese media, to the Hezbollah (Iranian) attacks with regard to Saudi involvement in Yemen.
Meanwhile, in Lebanon, where Mustaqbel and Hezbollah hold parliamentary seats, there is a boycott on electing a president, the roads are not safe for driving, the food not safe for eating, raw sewage pours into the Mediterranean from Beirut and Israel is horizontally drilling into the Lebanese oil reserves offshore.
This is what happens when political parties are beholding to foreign patrons rather than to the resident citizens of the country.
