Hezbollah MP says al-Qard al-Hassan is under the law
Hezbollah MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan told al-Jadeed TV on Wednesday that “all of Hezbollah’s institutions are licensed and under the law, especially al-Qard al-Hassan.”
“We are always keen on implementing the laws,” he added.
His remarks come after the Lebanese Forces said Hezbollah must work to “legalize” all its institutions, including the al-Qard al-Hassan financial institution, amid reports that Hezbollah will reopen its branches after they were hit by Israeli airstrikes.
The Lebanese Forces' media office said that practices and policies that do not respect the state, the laws and the constitution are no longer acceptable.
"The time has come for the return of the state," the LF said, dubbing Hezbollah's policies "an era of chaos" that is no longer acceptable as "Lebanon enters a new national phase."
