Hajj Hassan asks about achievements of 'politics and diplomacy'

MP Hussein al-Hajj Hassan of Hezbollah on Thursday lamented that Israel carried out several deadly attacks in south Lebanon on Wednesday while “the world and the five-member committee are standing idly by and while the Lebanese state has not done anything until the moment.”

“Despite a lot of complaints, statements and diplomacy, the enemy is pressing on with its attacks, aggression, killing and destruction, and accordingly we ask the Lebanese state and its officials: where is diplomacy, where is the five-member committee and where are the sponsors of the ceasefire agreement in regard to the daily Israeli attacks on Lebanese territory,” Hajj Hassan asked.

Addressing Arab leaders, the MP added: “What are you doing in the face of what Israel is committing in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the 1948 territories, Syria, Lebanon and other places? … What has diplomacy done for the Gaza’s people, children and women? Accordingly those who criticize the resistance project must tell us what politics and diplomacy have offered.”
