Hizbullah: Equation of People, Army, Resistance is Foundation for Defense Strategy

The Loyalty to the Resistance bloc praised on Wednesday Speaker Nabih Berri’s “bold national stand” that helped establish a new government.

It said in a statement after a meeting headed by MP Mohammed Raad: “With the formation of a new government, the country has entered a new phase rife with challenges that require different policies that would be able to revitalize all state institutions and fields.”

“A serious national approach is the only way to end obstacles,” it stressed.

“Lebanon will remain a nation of diversity, unity, and freedom,” it added.

“It will continue on confronting Israeli aggression and the equation of the people, army, and resistance will serve as the foundation for a national defense strategy,” the bloc stated.

Shortly before the announcement of the new government lineup, Berri agreed to sacrifice the representation of a Shiite minister in favor of a Sunni one.
