Raad Says Rivals Want to Win Elections to 'Normalize with Israel'
The head of Hizbullah’s parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammed Raad, claimed Tuesday that political rivals want to win the parliamentary majority “in order to secure laws that would allow them to normalize relations with the Israeli enemy.”
“All parties want to keep us away from the parliamentary action arena in order to implement their agendas,” Raad added, at a political rally in the southern town of Yohmor.
As for the issue of offshore gas exploration, the MP said: “We have international proposals for gas exploration that are in our interest and for which we wouldn’t pay a cost, but the Americans are refusing, because they want to bring a company that would impose its conditions.”
And accusing Washington of “blackmailing us with the Israeli enemy,” Raad emphasized that “the Israelis cannot threaten us with anything.”
“Lebanon has a resistance that owns drones and precision missiles. Let the Israeli dare come near,” the Hizbullah lawmaker added.

“All parties want to keep us away from the parliamentary action arena in order to implement their agendas,” Raad added.
Isn't that what political parties do, win elections to implement their ideas? (economic, monetary, social, etc..). What's your political party doing isn't it to win the election and implement your fanatic vision for Lebanon. What a moron. He does not even know why he's running for MP.

Unfortunately the "we" you mention does not include the Hizballah terrorist group who will not allow any contact with Israel to advance. The only people would would be interested in this peace would be the political leaders would want to see their bank accounts getting fatter and fatter.

One likely effect of better relations with Israel is agreement on the natural gas issue. That would bring in a lot of needed resources to Lebanon.
