March 14 Failed Politically
Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said Friday there are ongoing contacts between his group and the Progressive Socialist Party.
The meeting between Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and PSP leader Walid Jumblat would be held when time is ripe, according to Qassem.
The Hizbullah deputy secretary-general also said the March 14 forces failed politically.
Qassem said that relations between Hizbullah and Speaker Nabih Berri are strategic. Berri "is our candidate for the speakership."
He said Lebanon needs "a defense strategy that takes into consideration ways to consolidate the state”s independence and steadfastness against Israeli dangers."
Qassem added that the country is also in need of social and economic development to deal with debt, unemployment and sustainable development.
