Hizbullah Criticizes U.N. Chief Report over Implementation of 1559

Hizbullah senior official Mohammed Yazbek criticized on Saturday U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon's 16th semi-annual report on the implementation of 1559, saying that the party is defending Lebanon's national unity.
“They are demanding to dismantle the resistance so that Israel remains” safe, Yazbek said.
Ban said in his report that Hizbullah's Iranian-made drone that penetrated Israel on October 6, considering it a clear violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1559 as it can destabilize the situation in Lebanon and the region.
“For those who are demanding the disarmament of Hizbullah... We remind them that we are giving our blood to maintain this country's honor and unity,” Yazbek pointed out.
He noted that Hizbullah is exerting effort to resume the all-party talks that preserve the nation.
However, Yazbek said that “some officials insist on returning to the past.”
The March 14-led opposition rejects attending the national dialogue before the government resigns and demands the formation of a neutral salvation cabinet as the only way to defuse the tension caused by the assassination of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau chief Wissam al-Hasan on October 19.
Lebanon's political crisis worsened last month after the coalition blamed Miqati's cabinet for Hasan's killing in a car bomb blast in Beirut’s Ashrafiyeh district.
However, the March 8 camp rejects the formation of a new cabinet on allegations that there's no alternative.

"He noted that Hizbullah is exerting effort to resume the all-party talks that preserve the nation."
and what exactly are they going to talk about--they are saying that just to buy time, because everyone knows that talks with them won't yield anything.

Isn't it interesting that every time Hizballah uses a different excuse to justify keeping its armed forces.
First it was Israeli occupation of South Lebanon, Israel withdrew.
Then it was Shaaba Farms - UN confirmed that Shaaba was Syrian not Lebanese, and that Israel was not occupying any Lebanese territory..
Now it is to keep Lebanon safe - but as in most cases,the country has an army to do just that.
So what next?

once more, it is not nasrallah responding!
as to their weapns we all know why they keep them and it is definately not for the lebanese unity, rather to force their will on the Lebanese people.
in short they are an occupation force and they should be treated as such.

They don't pay electricity and are bankrupting the other sects and the country. They live like beggars with their guns pointed at everyone else. When Bashar is gone the world will focus even more on getting rid of these devil freaks.
