Raad Says Hizbullah Keen to Maintain Peace, Calls on March 14 to Reconsider Policies

Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad said on Saturday that the party is keen to preserve civil peace in Lebanon, calling on the March 14 officials to reconsider their policies.

“We all have an interest in dealing with all matters calmly to maintain the civil peace and to fortify our society,” Raad said.

He expressed the party's readiness to rectify all disputes and reach common ground with all foes in order to preserve the country's unity and stability.

“Stop interfering in the resistance's arms... They're not debatable anymore,” Raad stated.

The March 14 alliance continuously called on Hizbullah to hand over its arms to the state.

Hizbullah's announcement that the group is involved in the conflict in Syria had a negative impact on the security situation on the country.

Tensions between Sunnis and Shiites have increased significantly because of the Syrian civil war.

Shiite back the regime of President Bashar Assad and Sunnis support the Sunni-led uprising.
