Qassem Says No Cabinet Deadlock, Liberation was a Leap towards Israel’s Downfall
Hizbullah deputy leader Sheikh Naim Qassem has said on the occasion of the Liberation Day that the resistance proved its ability to impose changes in the region.
“The Liberation caused a strategic leap that indicates the beginning of the fall of Israel … With liberation the time of victories began,” Qassem told As Safir newspaper on Tuesday.
He stressed that the goals can’t be achieved in a short time. “It takes collaboration… The main purpose is to keep the resistance flame smoldering.”
Qassem noted that the liberation of southern Lebanon from Israeli occupation wasn’t a momentary incident. “We believe that the 2000 victory led to the defeat of Israel in 2006” during the war with Hizbullah.
“We’re at a time when Israel is after its security and suffering from an existence crisis … We have an opportunity with the Arab revolutions, the agreement among the Palestinian foes and the readiness of resistance, to be in a new effective stage,” Qassem told the newspaper.
On the subject of the cabinet formation crisis, As Safir quoted him as saying that there’s no reason for the delay. “There is still an opportunity to find common grounds for reaching an agreement.”
The Hizbullah deputy chief stressed that all parties are responsible but the important thing is that we “don’t give the Americans any chance to complicate the formation of the government.”
Earlier on Monday, Qassem refused adopting a civil personal status law in Lebanon.
He said during a convention about women in Beirut that the “civil personal status contradicts the Sharia law.”
