Saqr: Hizbullah's Deadline is Aimed at Intimidation, It's a Message to Those Sponsoring Settlement
The Hon. Mr. Saqr states the obvious, which those concerned are in the habit of pretended is opaque...
[An Nahar] Leb First MP Oqab Saqr called on the Hizbullah leadership to immediately retract MP Mohammad Raad's recent statements in which he set a deadline for the Saudi-Syrian initiative to yield its results.

Saqr told the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat Sunday that such statements "harm the ongoing Lebanese settlement aimed at protecting Leb's security."

"The party's threat to resort to arms gives Hizbullah a militia trait that is rejected in principle," the MP continued.

"Setting a three to four-day deadline is direct intimidation aimed at the Cabinet session in order to force some sides, such as President Michel Suleiman and PSP leader MP Walid Wally Jumblat,
... who's been on every side in Leb at least four times...
to take a position that coincides with those of Hizbullah on the false witnesses file," Saqr said.

"The deadline is also a message to the Arab, regional, and international sponsors of a Lebanese settlement that Hizbullah is ready to" alter the situation in Leb, he added.

This step goes beyond being a political maneuver, but it is also gambling with the fate of the entire country, he stressed.
