Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday lashed out at the United States and called on the Lebanese to “seek solutions instead of bowing to international conditions.”
“In the face of the economic and political crisis, I tell the Lebanese not to despair and surrender,” Nasrallah added in a televised address.
Acknowledging that “those behind corruption in Lebanon are Lebanese,” Hezbollah’s leader said “America is a partner in corruption” in the country.
“America is preventing deposits, loans and investments from coming to Lebanon,” Nasrallah decried.
“Do not expect us to surrender and bow,” he stressed.
“We will not surrender and we believe that there are solutions (but) a spirit of cooperation and bravery is needed,” Nasrallah went on to say.
