Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stated on Sunday that the party does not approve to topple the cabinet despite its slow performance, affirming that Hizbullah commits to dialogue despite warnings that some parties might withdraw from the sessions.
“We reaffirm our commitment for dialogue and convergence among the Lebanese. We have participated in this government for the security and political stability in Lebanon,” said Nasrallah in a televised appearance.
“We refuse to be blackmailed. Those who wish to stay in the dialogue sessions and the government are welcome, and those who wish to leave, are free to do so,” added Nasrallah.
On Friday al-Mustaqbal movement warned that it might quit the government and the ongoing dialogue if the political deadlock continues in the country.
“Despite the government's sluggish performance we voice calls on maintaining and not toppling it.Toppling the government means vacuum and collapse," he added in his speech commemorating the death of leading Hizbullah figure Hassan Hussein al-Hajj.
On the participation of the party in the Syria war, Nasrallah said: “Our people feel safe because of Abou Mohammed al-Iqlim (al-Hajj) and the Resistance together with the Lebanese army. I would like to assure all that the Resistance has had great leaders for many years.”
Al-Hajj died on October 10 fighting in Sahl al-Ghab, a strategic plain in northwest Syria where Hizbullah has dispatched fighters in support of the embattled regime of Bashar Assad, reports say.
