Al-Sayyed Nasrallah Delivers Speech in a Rally in Beirut
Al-Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called Friday on Lebanon's political factions not to waste the current chance to end the country's political crisis.
Al-Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Friday that Lebanon is at a "new juncture" and called on all the Lebanese to give this new opportunity "a chance" to end the four-month-old political deadlock in Lebanon. During the commemoration of the passing of the 40-day mourning period for Imam Hussein, the Prophet Mohammad's grandson, Nasrallah saluted the arrival of the 100th day for the sit-in in Downtown to bring down the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora with a vow for the sit-in to "continue."
"You have performed a true national duty," Nasrallah told hundreds of supporters as they watched his speech through a live broadcast at the sit-in.
"We are now facing a new opportunity for a political solution," he said.
Nasrallah said both "internal" and "regional" circumstances are now in favor of Lebanon.

"There will be further escalations," he warned if such a compromise doesn't occur.
"I call on certain authorities in the ruling party not to hamper these new initiatives, as it would be a shame to lose this chance," said Nasrallah.
"A meeting on a table with 50 officials will not achieve any results," he said, "but bilateral meetings will bring a solution."
As he spoke, an announcement was broadcasted that opposition leader Speaker Nabih Berri was meeting for the second time with Future Movement leader Saad Hariri at Berri's residence in Ain al-Tineh.
Nasrallah warned certain leaders in the ruling party against counting on Israel or the US.
"They will fail you as they are failures," said Nasrallah about the US and Israel.
"Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran as well as Syria are working to help us create the right atmosphere to end the political impasse in the country," al-Sayyed Nasrallah said.
He added "There is today a better atmosphere to end the crisis in the country.?
Al-Sayyed Nasrallah called on the Lebanese people "not to be optimistic or pessimistic, but objective and hopeful.?
"But it is essential that the solution comes from within Lebanon, and that it is based on the principle of no victor or vanquished by the end of the negotiations," said Nasrallah.
