We Won Undisputed Popular Majority, Parliamentary Mainstream Can”t Commit Us to What It Wants
Hizbullah Deputy Secretary-General Naeem Qassem said the Lebanese parliamentary opposition received an undisputed popular majority and fostered a balance with the mainstream parliamentary bloc, adding that the parliamentary majority is incapable of committing the opposition to what it rejects.
In dealing with the election”s outcome "the opposition acted with civility and good manners," Qassem said.
"The presence of the parliamentary mainstream in the majority today means it could initiate proposals and ideas. However, It cannot act alone, it can propose consensus but cannot commit the opposition to what we won”t accept," The Hizbullah official said.
He added that the parliamentary minority supports serious work and thus has called for all to work in finding the right framework to consensus "this will allow us to save the ship."
"Although the opposition did not win the parliamentary majority, it succeeded in maintaining its seats in parliament, the level of votes it received and achieved its goal in remaining in the field," Qassem said.
He ended by saying that those who seek peace the Netanyahu way have to know that we won”t accept this "because this means that we lose our rights. His [Netanyahu] speech is a message to the world that wants to consecrate the occupation of Palestine and threaten the whole region, his speech is that of occupation and not that of peace and settlement."
