Unarming serves only Israeli objectives, Ready for Unconditional Dialogue
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday renewed his call for holding the national dialogue as soon as possible, stressing his openness to al-Mustaqbal Movement and all Sunnis in Lebanon.
Nasrallah made the remarks in a televised speech during an iftar in the eastern city of Baalbeck.
"I renew my call for a national dialogue as of tomorrow if it is possible," Nasrallah said.
"Let us sit and talk without any preconditions," he said.
"We are open to al-Mustaqbal movement, Dar al-Fatwa and all Sunnis and if a meeting with (al-Mustaqbal leader) MP Saad Hariri is not possible for security reasons, nothing prevents holding meetings between the parties” officials," Nasrallah added.
"We are ready to deal with all the wounds (sustained in the) past and I call on the Lebanese people to refrain from fanatic support of any political figure or party," the Hizbullah leader said.
Nasrallah threw his support behind "everyone who contributes to bringing peace to Tripoli and we endorse all reconciliation efforts in the north in general."
Hizbullah, Nasrallah said, "seeks national unity… and the demands for unarming it serves only the Israeli objectives."
The resistance "doesn”t target Muslims or Christians. It protects everyone," Nasrallah stressed.
Nasrallah”s call comes after Hizbullah”s Beirut invasion and two years since the end of Israel’s war on Lebanon. Coincidently, unconditional dialogue was taking place before Hizbullah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers which provoked Israel to act in response. The soldiers were later returned dead in a United Nations sponsored prisoner swap deal.
