| 'Hezbollah cannot be called terrorist' | |
| 2008-07-11 | |
Lebanon's President has praised Hezbollah for defending the country's sovereignty, saying labeling the group as terrorist is unacceptable. "Whoever defends his land and liberates it from occupation cannot be termed terrorist. I cannot accept this in any case," President Michel Suleiman said in an interview with France's Magazine L'Express.
Suleiman said Hezbollah is a Lebanese political party and the national resistance is one of its wings. Hezbollah leader Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah earlier condemned the move by Britain, saying "It was a natural decision coming from a country which created the Zionist entity". | |

| #6 Hezbies have just about won, haven't they... Yes, they have... Hezbollah gets veto power in Lebanese government BEIRUT, Lebanon - Lebanon's prime minister has formed a national unity Cabinet in which Hezbollah and its allies have veto power over government decisions. Prime Minister Fuad Saniora had been struggling to form a government since former army chief Gen. Michel Suleiman was elected president in May. Saniora announced the Cabinet formation Friday in Beirut. Hezbollah's veto power was part of an Arab League-brokered deal to achieve compromise between the U.S. and Western-backed parliamentary majority and Hezbollah-led opposition. |
