Hariri: Nasrallah Seeking to Bypass Institutions by Suggesting Formation of Economic Committee
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri said on Monday that the March 14 alliance will not participate in any dialogue session unless it discusses Hizbullah's arms.
Hariri took to Twitter to respond to Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's Sunday speech, accusing him of always seeking to “abandon the constitutional institutions”.
"Nasrallah's latest invention is creating an economic committee,” Hariri said, adding that this time the Hizbullah leader “will not be able to bypass the constitutional institutions”.
"Nasrallah's government led to this miserable situation in Lebanon and he is the first to blame in this regard,” Hariri expressed.
"A neutral government is the solution for implementing economical reform,” he stated.
Concerning the 2013 parliamentary elections, Hariri remarked: “Nasrallah says that we (March 14) support the 1960 electoral law, but we don't and it appears that he is the one who does not want the elections to take place”.
Al-Mustaqbal leader said commenting on Syria's events that it would have been better for Nasrallah to tackle this issue like Bashar Assad's deputy Farouq al-Sharaa did.
“Assad's regime cannot win this war,” he stated.
“We will not return to Lebanon through Damascus' airport but we see in Nasrallah's remarks a deep understanding of the significance of losing the Damascus airport,” Hariri said.
Nasrallah on Sunday called on the rival March 14 forces not to await the return of Hariri to Lebanon “via the Damascus airport,” saying they must instead end their boycott and take part in drafting a new electoral law.
The March 14 alliance had announced following the assassination of the Chief of the Intelligence Bureau of the Internal Security Forces Brigadier General Wissam Hasan that it would boycott the national dialogue sessions and the government's work, awaiting Prime Minister Najib Miqati' resignation.
The former PM expressed that he did not understand Nasrallah's remarks on al-Qaida's role in Syria.
"His warning to al-Qaida against an international and Arab conspiracy raises many suspicions over his party (Hizbullah) and Iran's relation with the organization,” he noted.
Nasrallah had said that al-Qaida “will be the first to pay the price in Syria because there is a trap set up for them”.
Hariri called on the Hizbullah chief to take notice of “how the real resistance against Israel was able to prove itself and gain the respect of all Arabs”.
"He should have done that instead of criticizing March 14's visit to Gaza,” he said.
“Nasrallah lost all the support he had when the resistance transformed into a project aiming at taking over Lebanese authority and sovereignty,” he commented.
