Qaouq: Hizbullah Backing Efforts to Resolve Govt. Crisis

Hizbullah central council member Sheikh Nabil Qaouq on Sunday stressed that his party is supporting efforts aimed at resolving the governmental crisis and resuming Cabinet sessions.

“Addressing the governmental crisis represents a necessary gateway for alleviating the suffering of the Lebanese and curbing collapse in the various fields,” Qaouq said.

“Hizbullah is not standing idly by as to addressing the governmental crisis, and it is rather supportive and keen on the success of the efforts,” the Hizbullah official added.

The efforts “have not stopped to resolve the only obstacle, whose solution is not impossible,” Qaouq went on to say, apparently referring to the standoff over Beirut port blast lead investigative judge Tarek Bitar.

He added: “The suffering of the Lebanese is very big, the living circumstances are difficult, and our major priority is serving the people and easing their plight. Hizbullah is helping and offering everything in its capacity to this end.”
