Mustaqbal Urges Hizbullah to Take 'Brave Decision' of Withdrawing from Syria

Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc on Tuesday reiterated its call for Hizbullah to withdraw its fighters from war-torn Syria.

“Amid the developments and threats that are surrounding and lashing the region and Lebanon, the bloc renews its honest request and asks Hizbullah to take the initiative of putting Lebanon's national interest ahead of anything else through conducting a comprehensive review of its intervention in Syria,” said the bloc in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.

Hizbullah should “take the brave decision of withdrawing from Syria and returning to Lebanon,” Mustaqbal added, calling on the party to “abide by the state's conditions, approach and Constitution in a manner that leads to strengthening coexistence.”
