Safa: No veto on army chief, only veto on Geagea
The head of Hezbollah's Coordination and Liaison Unit, Wafiq Safa, announced Sunday that his party does not have a "veto" on electing Army chief Joseph Aoun as president.
"The only veto to us is on (Lebanese Forces leader) Samir Geagea, because he is a strife and destruction scheme for the country," Safa added, from the site of the Sep. 27 airstrike that killed Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Dahieh.
"Hezbollah is stronger and firmer than iron and it is stronger than before," Safa added.
"Hezbollah's capabilities have been repaired and it has the ability to confront any attack in the way it sees appropriate and let no one test us anymore," Safa went on to say, noting that "Speaker Nabih Berri will have a talk with U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein over the Israeli violations."
Asked about Hezbollah's reaction if the Israeli army does not withdraw from Lebanon after the 60-day deadline, Safa said: "The Lebanese Army and the monitoring committee have not been informed of this matter, but after the 60 days expire, the issue will be left to Hezbollah and the resistance to decide what to do, and as Sheikh Naim Qassem said, this is the responsibility of the (Lebanese) state that signed the agreement and it will follow up on the ceasefire measures or violations."
