Hizbullah Satisfied over Govt. Formation: It Won’t Succumb to Foreign Dictates
Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Tuesday stressed that his party is “satisfied over the formation of a new cabinet, especially that it represents all the sectors of the Lebanese society.”
Following talks with Sports and Youth Minister Faisal Karami, Qassem noted that “those who did not join it (cabinet) have the right to scrutinize its performance,” describing accountability as “part of our political system in this country.”
“We will hear groans coming from those who were surprised” by the new parliamentary majority’s ability to form a new cabinet, Qassem said.
“But it will draft its ministerial Policy Statement and take its political, economic and social steps in line with Lebanon’s interest and without succumbing to U.S.-Israeli dictates,” Hizbullah number two said of the new government.
Qassem also stressed that the new cabinet enjoys “solid popular support,” noting that it will hold onto “the army-people-Resistance formula of strength.”
