Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said that the ministerial statement "confirms beyond the shadow of a doubt that the logic of the state is not contradictory to that of the Resistance," emphasizing that both logics constitute a whole that can be exploited for the sake of liberation and for Lebanon's sovereignty.
Speaking during a celebration held by the Islamic Religious Education Association in honor of students who had excelled in the official exams, Sheikh Qassem stressed that "the resistance will be the spearhead of Lebanon's strength, and this resistance will work according to what we agree upon regarding the defensive strategy."
"We will not squander Lebanon's strength," his eminence highlighted, noting that the Resistance will be the support of the strong state. "We will bear our full responsibilities and we will not relinquish them for the benefit of the "Israeli" enemy," Sheikh Qassem added.
"We must remain strong in confronting "Israel" and reject any weakness position," his eminence said, adding that "we will reject any step that would aim at thwarting our strength and welcome any process that would consolidate it."
"Any force that would yield to confront "Israel" will receive our support," his eminence vowed, reiterating that the most important was not who has the force and strength but the actual results and fruits of this power.
Sheikh Qassem also hailed Operation Al-Redwan, pointing out that "everyone must rejoice over this victory." He quoted Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah as saying that "the victory is for everybody."
His eminence finally noted that "the primary and fundamental duty of the government after the policy statement was to be concerned" with social and economic issues "and the different problems from which the people are suffering."
