Raad: we will not judge Al Faisal’s statement as negative

Local Editor, 17-12-2009

Hizbullah's MP and Head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc Mohammad Raad, in an interview with Al Nour radio station, commented on the latest statement of US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman saying that he leads a bad propaganda to an unsuccessful US policy which is causing only more trouble and crisis to the world. Raad said that the US policy proved itself a complete failure.

Commenting on what Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al Faisal and published said in an interview with the Herald tribune Wednesday- where Al Faisal said that Lebanon would be denied true sovereignty as long as Hizbullah "owns more arms than the Lebanese Army itself"- Raad stated that the resistance movement will not judge the Saud Al Faisal's statement as negative yet a little disappointment to such a comment.

Raad reiterated that the Lebanese state should take over the duty of sustaining security and defence, but when the state is in a state of incapability then all the Lebanese people are entitled to defending the country and keeping security in face of the daily "Israeli" non-stop violations.
Head of the Bloc also stressed that Hizbullah will always be ready to defend the country in case of any "Israeli" foolishness, especially that the situation in Lebanon is stable in the mean time and that national accord is dominant.
