Hizbullah, March 14 Accusations Put Dialogue in Jeopardy

W300

The dialogue between Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal was in limbo after the two parties' officials exchanged accusations, a few days before a new round of talks between them.

Over the weekend, Hizbullah officials Hashem Safieddine and MP Mohammed Raad lashed out at the March 14 alliance's formation of the National Council.

“There are in Lebanon those who form national councils when it’s too late,” Raad said.

Safieddine described the council as “useless” and hinted that the three-month dialogue between Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal would stop if some “evil tongues” continued to target the Resistance.

Their criticism came in reaction to the March 14 coalition’s announcement of a political blueprint and the formation of the National Council on the 10th anniversary of its founding.

The blueprint, which was announced by al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc leader MP Fouad Saniora, warned that the Lebanese state institutions would no longer exist over Hizbullah’s role in Syria.

The party has sent its fighters to the neighboring country to help troops loyal to President Bashar Assad against rebels seeking to topple him.

The blueprint also accused Hizbullah-backer Tehran of inciting Sunni-Shiite conflict to serve its interests.

Sources expected in remarks to An Nahar daily that the next round of dialogue between Hizbullah and al-Mustaqbal on Wednesday would be affected by the accusations.

The two parties have been meeting under Speaker Nabih Berri's sponsorship since December to defuse sectarian tension linked to the war in Syria.

They are now discussing a joint national strategy to combat terrorism and the presidential deadlock.

why does hizbushaitan feel threatened by the formation of a national council? this is internal to m14!
is it ok to hear what we are hearing from iran about the iranian empire?

Lebanon is a free democratic republic and is not in any way part of any empire.

It's not about "feeling threatened", it's about feeling you can't trust m14. Just when the talks were seeming to go fine, m14 creates this "council" and the first thing it does is to verbally assault hezbollah and revive tensions. M14 clearly does not want to have an honest dialogue.

Why? They were telling us that current dialogue was not tackeling hezbos arms nor his battles in syria/irak/yemen.. It was just to defuse tenssion between sunnit or shia..
Or is hezbos views on dialogue to stop any critiaism about its action in lebanon and the region?? Was the purpose of dialogue for hezbollah to shut up any other point of view??
Anyway if the dialogue goals are to remove some picture from the street and in contrepartie giving blessing to our local shiite militia to go on "jihadist duty" (wakeb al jihadi as nassralah say it so nice) and drag is in a sectarian conflict raging all over the region, then screw this dialogue....

Hope this message from the terror party will finally wake up Saad Hariri and his Mustaqbal movement. The party you are dialoguing with accepts nothing short of your complete submission, humiliation, and defeat, and eventual death.
