Raad: Lebanese are masters of their country and its policies
Hezbollah MP Mohammed Raad has said that the Lebanese are the masters of their country.
"We are the ones who decide on our policies in a way that serves the interests of our children and our future generations," Raad said. "We do not choose our policies based on programs that the black chambers prepare for us," he went on to say.
Raad stressed that Israel will not succeed in subjugating the region and that betting on it is "futile." He added that "the Israeli enemy has no place in our region."
Raad's statement comes a day after the United States and Saudi Arabia called the Lebanese to form a government that ensures that "Lebanon does not become a launching point for terrorists, drug smuggling, or other criminal activities that threaten the stability and security of the region."
