Qaouq: Latest developments boosted consensus chances

W460

Hezbollah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Sunday said that the “latest developments” have increased the chances for “consensus” over the presidential file.

“Our priority lies in electing a president to halt the collapse and rescue the country, but the priority of the challenge and confrontation camp is taking the country to a new adventure in order to overturn the domestic political balances," Qaouq said.

"They want to seize control of the country to change its identity, position and regional role and to make it part of the normalization (with Israel) process," Qaouq added.

Referring to the rival political camp, the Hezbollah official said: "The challenge and confrontation group want to elect a president who would be a launchpad for pouncing on the national principles and settling political scores, but Hezbollah's stance is clear: we are not in a weak position and we are not in 1982 so that a president comes on the back of a tank or through the pressure of hunger and the economic-social crisis."

Noting that "there are international voices and MPs, parties and forces in Lebanon that have changed their stance in favor of the consensus scheme, because they have realized that the only exit for the crisis is dialogue," Qaouq said this has "infuriated" the rival camp and made it "scream" and "insult the resistance and its people."

Hezbollah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq actually means: "Has boosted OUR chances..."

In 2023, there’s is a distinct possibility that Hezbollah, will have an opportunity to distinguish itself in the ongoing conflict with Israel. This may occur as a result of Israel's response to the imminent development of an atomic bomb in Iran, which is projected to be only a few months away. Israel will likely take action. Given the high stakes involved, I strongly advise my esteemed commentators to carefully consider the potential implications of this situation, especially if you live in the southernmost Lebanese cities and villages.

Israel cannot go to war without US help and Biden is in bed with Iran

One should exercise caution in confidently predicting Israel's future actions, given their recent history of bold moves and the apparent disregard for international public opinion by the new government. The United States is actively trying to exert influence over Iran, as evidenced by their recent offer of the Lebanese Presidency (Shea, Shia, Shea!). However, Iran views the acquisition of nuclear weapons as a necessary measure to safeguard themselves against potential threats and prevent a scenario similar to what occurred in Iraq and Libya.

"They want to seize control of the country to change its identity"
Umm, Nabil is obviously confused. He should star using Grammarly, the inappropriate "They" will be automatically corrected to the more precise "We". None other than Hezballah trying to change the identity of the country and even change the identity and beliefs of the Lebanese Shiites themselves. Furthermore after the sea demarcation, their dogma has become silly, from Berri and Nasrallah on down, on land, we border occupied Palestine while in the sea we border Israel.

So, he said nothing---just trying to make his 'stances' seem like common sense. They keep pouncing on the Israel them, but fail to realize that Iran is fast approaching being the greater evil, and in many ways, has already well in front.
