Hezbollah leader expresses readiness to support current gov’t
2019-10-20
[ALMASDARNEWS] Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has signaled his readiness to support the current Lebanese government amid the ongoing protests in the capital Beirut.

In a televised speech on Saturday, Nasrallah said that he would back the government,“but with a new agenda and a new spirit”.

According to him, the past couple of days of protests indicated that if new taxes are introduced to resolve the political standoff, this may result in a “popular uprising”.

Nasrallah said that if the government steps down, it could take a year or two to form a new Cabinet, “and the time is short”; he added that Hezbollah doesn’t support the resignation of the government.
