| Nasrallah tells Egypt to stop construction of frontier barrier |
| 2009-12-28 |
| Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday called on Egypt to stop building a steel wall along the Gaza border that could obstruct smuggling tunnels which provide a lifeline for the blockaded enclave. maybe Egypt is really building it, no Arab country has condemned Egypt yet, neither has Iran Nasrallah told a crowd of tens of thousands of Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim marking the Ashura religious ceremony he spoke via a jumbotron set up for such events that Egypt should be condemned if it does not stop building the wall. Tensions between Egypt, a predominantly Sunni country, and Hezbollah, a Shi'ite group backed by Iran, have been running high since last year when Nasrallah accused Cairo of complicity with Israel in its siege of the Gaza strip. |
