Nasrallah to Tackle Critical Developments in TV Interview
Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to tackle on Monday the Special Tribunal for Lebanon probing the assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri during a television interview, An Nahar reported.
Nasrallah will discuss during the interview the disputed issues among the cabinet members.
He will also address the latest developments in the Arab world and the situation in Syria, As Safir newspaper said.
A main part of the interview will deal with the prisoners’ swap between Israel and Hamas that took place last week, An Nahar said.
Israel released more than half of the 477 Palestinians who were serving life sentences for their involvement in deadly attacks on Israelis. In return Hamas released Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit after five years of captivity.
Another 550 prisoners, yet to be named, are to be freed within two months.
Nasrallah warned Israel on Friday from initiating a war against Lebanon, saying that the party will target Tel Aviv if any such attack occurred.
Al-Akhbar newspaper reported that the warning came during a meeting with high-ranking officials in the party.
Concerning the infiltrators that Hizbullah discovered, charging four of its members with spying for the CIA and the Israeli intelligence Mossad, Nasrallah admitted that the party had been hurt by information passed but the damage was minor.
The pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat said that Hizbullah had detained four of its own members a month ago on charges of spying for Israel and a fifth fled.
