Alloush Asks if Nasrallah Will 'Fight Corruption with Weapons'

Al-Mustaqbal Movement official ex-MP Mustafa Alloush wondered Friday if Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah intends to “fight corruption with weapons,” after the Hizbullah leader announced the anti-corruption fight is “as sacred as” his group's military resistance against Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon.

“After setting aside Jerusalem's liberation and after the doors were locked in the face of the trade of blood, wars and destruction, someone today is inventing an alternative holy war titled as the battle against corruption! Then why should the weapons stay and will he fight corruption with weapons?” Alloush tweeted, in an apparent reference to Nasrallah.

“Will he who wants to fight corruption open his party's financial records for inspection?” Alloush asked.

Nasrallah had earlier in the day announced that Hizbullah is in “a necessary, important and national battle against corruption that is not less sacred than the resistance's battle against occupation.”
