Alain Aoun: Hizbullah 'Can Scare', Nasrallah Remarks Indicate Solution Not Impossible
MP Alain Aoun of the Strong Lebanon bloc noted Sunday that Hizbullah has the ability to “scare” others, as he said that Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's remarks on Saturday indicated that a solution to the so-called Sunni obstacle is not impossible.
“The voice of the independent Sunnis should have been louder from the beginning and they should not have waited for five months. One of the weaknesses of the independent Sunni grouping is that they did not go as one bloc to the (binding parliamentary) consultations (to name the PM-designate),” Aoun said in an interview with al-Jadeed TV.
And warning that “due to the clash over the independent Sunni MPs the settlement between al-Mustaqbal Movement and Hizbullah has been dealt a blow,” the lawmaker said the Free Patriotic Movement and President Michel Aoun will play a “rescue role.”
“We are stuck between PM-designate Saad Hariri's stance and the remarks Sayyed Nasrallah voiced yesterday. This obstacle has been approached with very sharp-toned stances and now there is a need to address it through giving each their right,” Aoun added, stressing that no party should feel “defeated.”
He added: “There is Sunni representation outside of al-Mustaqbal and the electoral law reflected this. There are also four other MPs who don't belong to al-Mustaqbal and not only the six MPs have the right to be represented in the government.”
“Hizbullah can 'scare' and Sayyed Nasrallah re-acknowledged his allies yesterday and his speech indicated that a solution is not impossible and he is calling for respecting these parties,” Aoun went on to say.
