Hezbollah announces, then postpones, speech by Qassem
Hezbollah swiftly announced the postponement of its chief Sheikh Naim Qassem's speech after saying in a previous statement that he would give a speech on Tuesday.
The statement and the postponement came as U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein visited Beirut seeking an end to the Israel-Hezbollah war.
Qassem will speak "today", a statement from Hezbollah said, without specifying a time, before later announcing that it was postponed, as Hochstein told a Beirut press conference that "a real opportunity" to end the almost two-month-long war was "within our grasp."
Shortly after announcing it would take place, Hezbollah said Qassem's speech "has been postponed to a date to be determined later."
Sources told Al-Arabiya television that Qassem’s speech was postponed because a meeting between Speaker Nabih Berri and Hochstein was "not up to expectations."
The Berri-Hochstein meeting did not resolve the pending points, most importantly the clause on “the right to self-defense,” the sources added.

When this charade will be over? When will the army disarm Hizb and put its leadership & its useful idiots in prison and confiscate its properties to help the displaced? For every rocket under Iranian command Hizb lunch onto Israel, countless Lebanese buildings and villages are destroyed while HizbIran claims divine victory! No one will rebuild the South & Dahia as long as Hizb (classified as terrorist organization) maintains arms and control. Shia are waking up to the curse and nightmare called Hizbollah that stole their culture and traditions and turned them into brainwashed Basij implementing the agenda of criminal Iranian tyrants. Lebanese should plan now for Cedar Revolution II with massive Shia participation demanding army disarm Hizb and place its leaders and its Vichy government under house arrest. Only this insures Israel withdrawal and open the flood of aid to Lebanon and the army so we can rebuilt a Lebanon we can be proud off and our kids deserve.

You need to remove the photo of Gebran Khalil Gebran because you are disgracing his memory. He saw the people of the Levant (Lebanese, Palestinians, and Syrians) as one people. Gibran Khalil General was an enemy of the blood thirsty Zionists and Western imperialists and you are their collaborator and puppet.

Why don’t you come to Lebanon and start the “Batata Revolution II”. Don’t forget to bring your uncle Tannous with you.
