Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem on Wednesday stressed that "Hizbullah”s arms are not a subject of discussion neither by the government nor by the national dialogue table; because what is being discussed is the defensive strategy, and when the strategy is discussed, things related to it follow."
Qassem added: "After the assassination of PM Hariri, the Sunni-Shiite strife emerged as a central headline, and a huge provocation was exerted, but we have always called for a halt of that matter and took a number of steps to stop it. We did many sacrifices and managed to reach a national unity government that comforted everyone and established stability."
"Hizbullah calls for positive relations among Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey, and the rest of Arab and Muslim nations," added Qassem.
