| March 14: Hizbullah Fighting in Syria Risks Eruption of Sunni-Shiite Strife |
| 2013-04-18 |
| [An Nahar] The March 14 General Secretariat renewed on Wednesday its call on Hizbullah to cease its fighting in Syria, "which will leave a deep scar on Lebanese-Syrian ties." It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: "Hizbullah's fighting alongside the Syrian regime and at Iran's behest will pave the way for Sunni-Shiite strife, which the party only warns of in words, but is actively working for." "This strife will not only threaten Leb and its national unity, but the entire region and even the world," it cautioned. It therefore demanded that Hizbullah "completely" withdraw from Syrian territory in order to avoid future acts of retaliation against it that have started in al-Hermel and may spread to the whole of Leb. In addition, the March 14 General Secretariat reiterated its condemnation of Syria's violation of Leb's eastern and northern borders, demanding the Lebanese state to deploy the army along those areas with the support of the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... Interim Force in Leb. "Any shelling of Lebanese land or kidnapping on Leb territory, by Syrian rebels or regime forces, is a red line," it declared. |
