Hezbollah: Disarming Resistance Not Subject for Discussion

Hezbollah officials reiterated during the weekend that the Resistance, and only the Resistance, was able to put an end to the Israeli ongoing threats and to be a true challenge for the Israeli enemy, rejecting "claims" that the national dialogue roundtable was seeking to find a way for "disarming" the Resistance in Lebanon.

The head of Hezbollah Executive Council Sayyed Hashem Safieddine warned against the dangers of the American domination in the region, stressing that it wasn't acceptable to allow the United States do whatever it wants in victorious and resisting Lebanon.

"We have always been highlighting and bringing to attention American influence in Lebanon, and recent talk about American influence in information and security penetration in Lebanon being the greatest threat facing Lebanon after the Zionist security threat, is because we believe that whatever America possesses is definitely and inevitably available to Israel also," Sayyed Safieddine said during a religious ceremony held in the southern suburb of Beirut.

"Victorious resistant Lebanon which imposed its will and equation on the Israelis will not allow the US to enjoy comfort or ease at the political and security penetration level, but we must demand through all available media and political means possible to understand the nature of this US security penetration," his eminence added.

For his part, Hezbollah Official in South Lebanon Sheikh Nabil Qawouk said that Resistance has been able, through its new equation and strategy of defense and liberation, to put an end to the Israeli threats against the country and consolidate its abilities and power despite all international pressures.

Sheikh Qawouk noted that all Arab League summits do not deter a single Israeli aggression. "The Israeli enemy is not afraid of resolutions and Arab speeches. Only the resistance has proved viable and successful against such challenges," Sheikh Qawouk emphasized.

Meanwhile, Administrative and Reform Minister Mohamad Fneish said that disarming the Resistance in Lebanon was not a subject for discussion. "Some have implied that the dialogue session seeks to establish when Hezbollah will be disarmed," Fneish said. "This issue is not a subject for discussion and will not be debated at the dialogue sessions," he added.
