Raad says Hezbollah will never be 'dragged into strife'
Hezbollah’s top lawmaker Mohammed Raad has stressed that his party will never be “dragged into strife” in Lebanon, in the wake of the deadly clash involving Hezbollah in the Christian town of Kahale.
“The attempts to preoccupy us with a banking collapse, an economic crisis or a regional problem, such as the overturning of a truck at the Kahale curve, and the promotion of grudges, hatred, incitement and sedition are the work of dark rooms that are working for the benefit of the Israeli enemy in order to deviate our attention from it,” Raad said.
He added that these “rooms” instigated cronies to “insult heroic resistance fighters, seize key roads, confront as if they are the army and they are the state, put people on trial and seek to know what that truck was carrying.”
“We acted with wisdom and care in order to contain the situation with the lowest cost and preserve the country and the political atmosphere in the country,” Raad said.
“Strife will not break out in Lebanon, because we do not want it, although others want it, but they are impotent and cannot drag us into it,” Raad went on to say.
