Qaouq Says Hizbullah Flexible to Achieve Breakthrough over Cabinet, Electoral Crises
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Top Hizbullah official Nabil Qaouq said on Thursday that the party is flexible and acting positively with the consultations concerning the formation of the cabinet and the adoption of a new electoral law.
“No one is being targeted as the nation's best interest states that all parties should be engaged in the process of the formation and the adoption of a draft-law,” Qaouq, who is the deputy head of the party's executive council, said.
Prime Minister-designate Salam has announced that he wants to form a 24-member government with rotational portfolios. He has also rejected having electoral candidates in the executive authority whose only mission would be the supervision of the parliamentary elections.
The political powers have also so far failed to reach an agreement on an alternative law, threatening to postpone the parliamentary elections that are scheduled for June 16.
Qaouq pointed out that despite the turmoil in the neighboring country Syria and the local division over it “Hizbullah is dealing with all parties locally.”
The official lashed out at the Arab League, accusing it of “instigating strife in Syria, arming it, obstructing any peaceful political solution and sending fighters to engage in battles in the country.”
In March, Arab League leaders gathered for an annual summit in Doha gave member states the "right" to offer Syrians all means of self-defense, including arms supplies.
On Tuesday evening, Hizbullah Chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah acknowledged that members of his group are fighting inside Syria to help the Lebanese in Syria’s border town of al-Qusayr, assuring that the party prides itself in its martyrs.
He announced that Hizbullah fighters are defending holy places in the area, including, the Sayyeda Zainab shrine.

they are repeating the same thing: political settlement!
they were counting on the US discussing with iran a settlement, but that did not and will not happen.
they are discovering they dragged themselves into this, losing all credibility, iran losing what is left of its monetary reserves,....
they lost.
now we need to beware of the cornered hyena. they will create a war in Lebanon in the hope of a new taef.

I can’t fathom as yet why on earth should these Shai clergy men involve themselves in politics. None of the other sects, be it Christians or Sunni, have clergy men involved. There’s something really wrong with the Shai representation in Lebanon. These Shai clergy should confine themselves to their mosques and save us the hassles of their stupid ideas about how we should be governed.

Of course, Qauaq doesn't care who occupies the ministries of the Lebanese government. Since when does Hezbollah care or even recognize the Lebanese government. If M14 wins and Hezbollah disapproves of government decisions, it will imply disregard the decisions and then dare the Government to do something about it. Easier than dealing with Aoun and his leaching family hangers on.
