Nasrallah to Make Televised Speech Sunday by End of Suleiman's Term
Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to deliver a speech on Sunday that coincides with the end of President Michel Suleiman's tenure.
According to al-Liwaa newspaper published on Tuesday, Nasrallah will make a televised speech at 5:30 pm on the occasion of the Resistance and Liberation day that commemorates the Israeli army’s withdrawal from south Lebanon in May 2000.
The ceremony will be held in the southern town of Bint Jbeil at Moussa Abbas compound.
Parliament has so far failed to elect a new president over differences between the March 8 and 14 alliances.
There are fears that the vacuum in the country's top Christian post would affect Lebanon's power-sharing agreement under which the president should be a Maronite, the premier a Sunni and the speaker a Shiite.
