Nasrallah to Tackle Major Developments, STL during Friday’s Speech
Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to deliver a televised speech at 8:30 p.m. Friday on the latest developments in Lebanon and the region, Hizbullah’s Media Relations Department announced.
An Nahar newspaper reported on Friday that the Israeli military exercises along the Lebanese border will constitute a main part of Nasrallah’s speech.
Israel on Sunday launched "Turning Point 5," a major five-day home front defense exercise intended to prepare its population and emergency services to respond to massive missile attacks.
The speech might include remarks on The Special Tribunal for Lebanon, sources told al-Liwaa newspaper.
They said that the speech is expected to signal the importance of accomplishing the cabinet’s lineup, and Hizbullah’s point of view on how it could offer it the help it needs.
The newspaper quoted the sources as saying that the speech will “respond to some of March 14-led opposition stances against the government.”
Concerning the regional part, the daily reported that the speech will deal with three important headlines: The Israeli drills and how Hizbullah will deal with them, the developments in Syria and a response to accusations that Hizbullah participated in the crackdown on demonstrators, in addition to the Bahraini unrest in light of the sentences issued against 8 Shiite opposition activists.
