Nasrallah warns Israel against any mistake, pins hope on talks with FPM
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday warned Israel against committing any “mistake or foolishness,” as he said that his party’s dialogue with the Free Patriotic Movement might lead to a presidential breakthrough.
“The enemy’s entity is still occupying a part of our land in the Shebaa Farms and the Kfarshouba Hills and over the past weeks it re-occupied a part of the Ghajar village. It is provoking, violating and occupying territory while very insolently talking about the resistance’s provocations on the border,” Nasrallah said in a televised address marking the Shiite holy day of Ashura.
“From here I warn the Israelis against any foolishness or wrong choices. The valiant, honorable resistance in Lebanon will not be lenient and will not give up its responsibilities -- neither in protection nor in deterrence and liberation,” Nasrallah added.
Hezbollah "will not bow to this shaky and crumbling entity and it will be ready to confront any mistake or foolishness," Nasrallah vowed.
As for the domestic situation, Nasrallah pinned hope on Hezbollah's ongoing dialogue with the FPM, which has reportedly made "major progress."
"It is clear that everyone will wait for the September return of the French envoy and the initiative he has talked about, and we believe that there is a chance until that time comes to open the door to serious and strenuous bilateral talks that might break the current impasse in the presidential file," Hezbollah's supremo said.
Apparently referring to the dialogue with the FPM, he added: "This is what we're working on and we will see what we can achieve in the coming days."
Nasrallah also said that the caretaker Cabinet should "continue to shoulder its responsibilities within the allowed constitutional restraints" and that "it is unacceptable to paralyze parliament under any excuse when it comes to necessary legislation and everything related to citizens' lives."
