Nasrallah: We Won't Let Nusra, IS Allies Represent Baalbek-Hermel
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah lashed out at those criticizing Hizbullah's electoral list in Hermel-Baalbek district, calling them allies of the extremist groups the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front, the National News Agency reported on Friday.
Urging Hizbullah supporters in Baalbek-Hermel region for “massive participation” in the upcoming parliamentary elections, he said in an internal meeting with them: “I will personally roam its villages, cities and neighborhoods to make sure the list succeeds, even if that puts me at risk,” said NNA.
“I will not allow, we will not allow allies of Nusra and the IS to represent the people of Baalbek-Hermel. People of the region won't allow Nusra and IS to represent them,” he stressed.
Hizbullah has formed its “Hope and Loyalty” list in Baalbek-Hermel to take part in the May 6 elections.
The majority of political parties have declared their candidates to run in the polls. However, the electoral lists have not yet taken full shape as political parties are scrambling to shape alliances.
