Raad Calls on Cabinet to 'Fight Terror, Hold Timely Presidential Vote'
Head of Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad on Sunday called on the new cabinet to “exert efforts to achieve what it has considered as priorities: fighting terrorism and holding the presidential vote within its constitutional timeframe.”
He also urged the cabinet, which adopted a consensus policy statement Friday after a month of political wrangling, to “shoulder the responsibility of alleviating the dire living conditions of the Lebanese.”
“We support the cabinet whose policy statement has been finally 'liberated' and which included its commitment to the right of the resistance to confront occupation and its attacks," Raad said.
The top lawmaker also stressed "the need to endorse a comprehensive national plan to confront the takfiri terrorism as we continue dialogue over the national defense strategy that must be implemented to confront the Zionist (Israeli) hostility."
