Raad Criticizes Exaggeration of Events, Calls for Dialogue
Head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad criticized on Saturday attempts by some politicians to exaggerate incidents and fabricate events, calling on the Lebanese to find consensus among each other.
“Some are exaggerating events or instigating incidents in order to divert attention away from Lebanon's best interest,” Raad said in comments on Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea claims that he had escaped an assassination attempt, without naming him.
The Hizbullah official urged all the Lebanese to find consensus among each other and to avoid “hatred and resentment.”
Geagea said Wednesday that he escaped an assassination attempt when a sniper fired at his residence in Maarab.
Security forces extracted two sniper bullets, ranging between 12.7 and 14.5mm, from a wall at his house.
He added that the security of the Maarab compound was not breached and that the attacker had carried out the attack from a distance of up to four kilometers using very advanced equipment.
Raad said that the resistance is doing its duty and remaining calm concerning all the campaigns against it.
“We are patient but we will not forget… We might forgive but we don’t forgive on the expense of the nation,” the MP stated.
He noted that Hizbullah is keen to maintain the national unity in Lebanon.
“The Lebanese are not united in identifying the enemy of our nation,” Raad added.
He revealed that his party insists on dialogue among all the Lebanese foes, saying “we will not be able to help Lebanon without consensus, dialogue and reaching common grounds on principles.”
