Raad: Lebanon Can Only Be Governed by All of its Factions
Head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad hailed on Monday the formation of a new government, while warning against attempts to exploit political rivalries in Lebanon to create Sunni-Shiite strife.
He said: “Lebanon can only be governed by all of its factions.”
“The other camp sought to form a neutral or de facto cabinet because it did not want to participate in rule with Hizbullah,” he continued.
“They are now however part of an all-embracing political government after their calls for a neutral and de facto cabinet failed,” he said.
Moreover, Raad added: “We want to protect the resistance and the people's interests.”
“We want to preserve the country's sovereignty, independence, strength, and deterrent power,” continued the MP.
Furthermore, he remarked that “all corruption in the Arab world stems from the American-Israeli axis.”
“Takfiris and terrorists are pawns of this axis … We have been burdened by people who cannot cut off their ties with this axis,” he lamented.
“We must adapt to this reality in order to achieve the dreams of freedom and dignity. The new government meets several of the principles that we aspire for,” Raad noted.
“We will continue to challenge the other camp until is wakes up from its slumber,” he said.
A new government was formed on Saturday after a nearly 11-month deadlock.
