Mashnouq on Attending Mustaqbal-Hizbullah Talks: Patience Does Not Mean Surrendering
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq sought to quell claims that he may not attend the next round of dialogue between the Mustaqbal Movement and Hizbullah, saying that such a decision would be his alone and not someone else's, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Thursday.
He told the daily: “Patience does not mean surrender.”
“I have waited a whole year to announce a central stance on issues and I hope this is clear,” he said in reference to his recent criticism of Hizbullah.
“I issued a warning to all the Lebanese. When we want to leave the dialogue, then we will leave through our own freewill, not through taking pride in acts of abandonment that they have practiced against us in four years,” the minister continued.
“We have seen how such acts have affected the country,” he remarked.
Mashnouq warned on Friday that the movement might quit the government and the ongoing dialogue if the political deadlock continues in the country.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday voiced his party's commitment to the government and dialogue, adding: “We refuse to be blackmailed. Those who wish to stay in the dialogue sessions and the government are welcome, and those who wish to leave, are free to do so.”

“We refuse to be blackmailed. Those who wish to stay in the dialogue sessions and the government are welcome, and those who wish to leave, are free to do so.” Nassrallah said.
But it's ok for the rest of the Lebanese to be blackmailed by your daily patronizing statements " had it not been for Hezbollah" ISIS, etc would have been in Beirut and Jounieh.
Another point of interest: When the Shia ministers resigned from the Saniora government, hell broke loose and the government became "unconstitutional" and illegitimate. Nassrallah is not worried when the Sunni ministers resign the government becomes "unconstitutional". On the contrary, he says " Allah Ma3kom" as he bangs his hand on the table.!
