Khalil Says Electoral Rivals Want to 'Weaken Resistance'
Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil on Sunday noted that some parties are seeking to win seats in the strongholds of Hizbullah and the AMAL Movement in order to “weaken the resistance.”
“The sons of this region are clinging to the 'diamond army-people-resistance equation,'” Khalil said during an electoral meeting in the South.
He urged all parties to “be clear in dealing with the issue of the defense strategy and how we can protect Lebanon from the threats of both the Israeli and the takfiri enemies.”
“We know that some want to downsize us and our role in parliament and government... Some want to clinch seats from our lists, specifically in the region, in order to weaken us and affect the role of the resistance,” the minister added.
