Raad to rivals: Where is the non-Israeli occupation in Lebanon?
MP Mohammed Raad, the head of Hizbullah’s parliamentary bloc, noted Monday that there is no occupation in Lebanon “other than the Israeli occupation.”
“Show us if there is an occupation in Lebanon now other than the Israeli occupation so that we fight it with you. Enough with the deception of people. The elections are over and so are electoral slogans. Let us work for the sake of the people and the country now,” Raad said.
Addressing the reformist MPs who won in the latest elections, Raad added: “We are ready for any cooperation, regardless of your political and ideological background. We are ready to cooperate based on the political slogans that you had voices as to fighting corruption and reviving the economic situation.”
“In the issue of sovereignty, we’re the ones who are proposing to you our program. Come let us prevent foreigners from extending their hands to demarcate our maritime border and come let us decide by ourselves the future of gas and oil extraction in our waters, and also on our soil,” the lawmaker went on to say.
