Loyalty to Resistance Urges Need to Assume National Responsibilities against those Targeting Hizbullah

The Loyalty to the Resistance bloc noted on Wednesday that U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon latest report on the implementation of resolution 1559 was "blatantly biased towards the Zionist enemy and its violations of international resolutions."

It accused in a statement after its weekly meeting headed by MP Mohammed Raad the United States of supporting division among the Lebanese "under the pretense of international justice."

It called for taking "positive local and regional action in thwarting the tensions that are truly threatening Lebanon as a result of the resistance being targeted through harsh and fabricated accusations."

The bloc stressed the need for sides to assume their national responsibility against this "dangerous provocation."

The meeting also addressed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Lebanon last week, saying that it confirmed Iran's official and popular support for Lebanon's right to security, independence, and confronting Israeli assaults.

The bloc also repeated its demand that the false witnesses file be referred to the justice council as that is the logical way to reach the truth in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and end tensions in Lebanon.
