Opposition: Nasrallah is Challenging the State and Taking the Cabinet as Captive
March 14 general-secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid has said that Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s keenness on the cabinet proves that the arms of the Shiite party have taken the country captive.
“The keenness that the man showed on the cabinet of Premier Najib Miqati confirms once again that Hizbullah puts the entire Lebanese republic under the captivity of its arms,” Soaid told An Nahar daily published Sunday.
Nasrallah is seeking to win the support of Miqati and the government given that his party is a suspect in the series of assassinations that shook Lebanon in 2005, he said.
“We will reject this situation because it is extremely dangerous and we won’t allow turning the Lebanese republic through its cabinet into a captive whose role is set by Nasrallah to confront the international tribunal,” Soaid told the newspaper.
A high-ranking source in the March 14-led opposition also said that Nasrallah spoke on Saturday as if he was “challenging the Lebanese state starting with the president, the prime minister and all the way to the security apparatuses and judicial police.”
The Shiite party leader stressed that he is the authority that decides what is right and wrong, the source told An Nahar.
Furthermore, Nasrallah sought to keep himself away from the four suspects accused by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon of involvement in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination, the March 14 source added.
