Hizbullah Rejects Hegemony, Says it is Working to Endorse Partnership
2009-03-11
Hizbullah's official in south Lebanon Sheikh Nabil Qaouq said on Friday that his party is working for partnership in the country while the March 14 forces are giving the Lebanese two choices -- either hegemony or obstruction.

"The resistance does not fear new regional and international conditions... We will not wait for outside interferences ... We call for consensus and national partnership with which to safeguard Lebanon's identity and stability," Qaouq said during a graduation ceremony organized by Jihad al-Binaa construction company. "The program of the pro-government forces in the country is aimed at giving two choices to the Lebanese: Either hegemony or obstruction. In return, the opposition gives two choices to the Lebanese: Either consensus or consensus," Qaouq stressed.

He said no matter who wins the June 7 legislative elections, there should always be national partnership. "No matter who the winner in the parliamentary elections is, Lebanon is bound to be in agreement and national partnership," Qaouq said.

"This is the only solution for a way out of the current political crisis. Any other talk about obstruction, domination and hegemony has no chance" to succeed because "we have already turned the chapter on American and other embassies' guardianship," the Hizbullah official added.

Meanwhile, Hizbullah and Amal Movement leaderships in Mount Lebanon and the North also stressed in a joint statement their commitment to partnership.
