Hezbollah Rectifies Sheikh Kassem's Guardian Interview


Hezbollah clarifies some points included in the published interview.



Hezbollah's information relations office commented on the interview by the Guardian with deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Kassem saying: "The British Guardian daily dealt with the content of Wednesday's interview with his eminence, in a way that led to another meaning than the intended in two cases:

1- In naming the services which support militias and speaking about its alignment. The recorded interview shows that Shiekh Kassem said that pro-government groups are arming and all reports confirm that pro-government parties are arming in regions and villages, and this is dangerous because weapons in people's hands in Lebanon are weapons of sedition and we warn against this. All Lebanese and Arab reports confirm the arming campaign by pro-government militias, and this is going on with the knowledge of the prime minister and is facilitated by the security forces under his command. We consider this to be wrong and does not solve the problem.

2- The Guardian said that Hezbollah does not rule out another confrontation with Israel this summer and confirmed that the group was rearming. However the reporter asked Sheikh Kassem: "There are news about an Israeli war erupting again this summer or in the future, what are the measures Hezbollah is going to take regarding the people? His eminence replied: "We cannot be absolutely certain of an Israeli war breaking out or not. I believe a long time is needed to rebuild the Israeli army, yet we have to keep in our calculations the possibility of another adventure, or demanding US interests which push Israel into such dangers.
