Hizbullah: It is a Sin to Lure International Pressure on Cabinet
Hizbullah’s deputy Executive Council leader, Sheikh Nabil Qaouq, said Sunday that “luring international pressure on the Lebanese cabinet is more than a national sin.”
“It is unfortunate to see that at a time when the cabinet is seeking to confront the Israeli danger, the March 14 forces are luring international pressure to weaken, blackmail and topple the government,” Qaouq said.
He accused the March 14-led opposition of seeking to create tension over its rejection to admit that it became out of power.
“We have blocked the road to American hegemony and we won’t allow it to return,” Qaouq said.
He urged all parties to take a comprehensive national stance from what he called the Israeli piracy and the Jewish state’s attempts to lay its hands on oil and gas fields in Lebanese waters.
“The March 14 forces that didn’t deal with such a national cause when they were in power are asked today to (make) a clear national stance in supporting the new government which wants to defend Lebanon’s right on its oil resources,” Qaouq said.
He slammed the international community for not being concerned with Lebanon’s sovereignty, wondering why it isn’t defending Lebanon’s right to reclaim the Shebaa farms, Kfarshouba hills and the village of Ghajar from Israel.
Also Sunday, Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad urged all parties participating in the cabinet to cooperate in implementing the policy statement.
He said the government would defend the country’s sovereignty, invest its natural resources, limit the public debt and resume the restructuring of the state.
