Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday thanked Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil for the “confidence” that he placed in him in his latest remarks, but he noted that he cannot act as a “referee” in the cabinet formation process.

“We have started to fulfill the request of Minister Bassil,” said Nasrallah in televised address dedicated to the domestic developments, referring to Bassil’s request that he step in as a “friend” and “referee” to resolve the disagreements related to the new cabinet.

“We have proposed new ideas that can satisfy President (Michel) Aoun and PM-designate (Saad) Hariri,” Nasrallah added.

“All efforts in the country must come together to form a government and to pull the country out of this dilemma,” he went on to say, reassuring that Hizbullah will “exert utmost effort regarding the government's formation.”

Noting that President Aoun should be a “partner” in the government's formation, Nasrallah added that he agrees that no party should have a one-third-plus-one share.

Also commenting on Bassil’s latest remarks, Nasrallah said being a “referee” requires the “acceptance of both parties,” adding that this is not on the table at the moment and that he does not intend to get involved in such a matter.

Commenting on remarks by some parties, Nasrallah said he did not “think for a moment” that Bassil sought to drive a wedge between Hizbullah and the Amal Movement in his latest speech.

“It is normal to seek the help of a friend,” he said, referring to Bassil’s request.

“Minister Bassil did not say that he entrusts me with the rights of Christians,” he added.

Also referring to remarks by Bassil, Nasrallah said: “We never called for tripartite power-sharing and we never mentioned it. It was proposed to us but we rejected it.”

Separately, Nasrallah said that if the Lebanese state “fails to cover the fuel shortage,” Hizbullah will “resort to Iran.”

“We have accomplished all the administrative and logistic preparations for importing gasoline and fuel from Iran to Lebanon and this promise is still ongoing. The issue only requires a movement permission,” he added.

As for the issue of the subsidization of essential goods, Nasrallah said “all those who were in the previous governments must be part of a committee that should be formed to discuss the issue of ending subsidization.”

your nassrallah is not an ordinary 'someone'. He is a confirmed terrorist, a criminal like no other, and a spiteful sectarian. He embodies evil, corruption, and hate. So, yes we celebrate his death and destruction.

Mr. Nassralah, do you know who are you talking to? We are educated Lebanese who are fed up from you telling us lies that we all know about. We all just need to build a country based on freedom, integrity, stability and impartiality, and arms should only be in the hands of the army. We thank your party for all the sacrifices, but now, Lebanon has no more land to claim, and your arms have no meaning anymore, other than perhaps wanting to threaten us or scare us with. And please, what you say could pass on illiterate people in Iran, but in Lebanon, we all have brains a million times bigger than yours, and all what you say is real bullshit that doesn't fly. Hence, could you simply shut up!!!

"We have accomplished all the administrative and logistic preparations for importing gasoline and fuel from Iran"
What??
This madman is clearly threatening to replace the state. How can he have done "Administrative" preparations? This would require the Administration (the state) to accept and cooperate with this mafioso!

Thehhhhhhhhhhh!

There is no more gasoline because it is subsidised and sold by hundreds of trucks to Syria by the Ebola mafia who makes tons of money out of it, while the Lebanese citizens rot under the sun for a few tanks!

I will say it again, this country is doomed. Run away if you can!

I still can't understand who this guy is? Do we have a democratic country? This man stopped the country from voting for a president for two and a half years. Is Lebanon really a country? If not, give it to this shitty guy and finish from it. We are fed up from the mantra of Lebanon being the jewel of the Middle East, with great banks, excellent hospital and the best educational system. Most of the Arab countries have become far better than us. We now only compare to Yemen. Even the shitty Iran is better than us. So guys, please give the country to the Shai, convert Aoun and Basil to shaism, deport the Christians, and make Lebanon a territory of Iran. As for Aoun, he would have five women in hell as he converted to Shaism. The devil is waiting for him with open arms.

Nasrallah: Those blocking the roads are serving the enemy's interests.

But he did block downtown Beirut for 18 months and destroyed people's businesses and livelihoods.
