Miqati: Nasrallah's Remarks Political
[An Nahar] Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Tuesday stressed that Leb's borders will not be used to send weapons to Gazoo, noting that Hizbullah chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
only voiced "political" remarks in this regard.

"The border will not be opened and Nasrallah's remarks are political remarks. Weapons will not be sent from Leb to Gazoo," Miqati said in response to a question during an interview with LBCI television in Gay Paree where he is on an official visit.

Nasrallah criticized on Monday Arab countries that "are sending weaponry to Syria but have not aided Gazoo with one bullet."

"Iran and Syria's contribution to Gazoo are apparent in this domain," Nasrallah said, adding that "it is Arabs' duty to open the borders in front of the people of Gazoo and send arms to the Paleostinian resistance."

Turning to the issue of forming a new cabinet, Miqati criticized the March 14 camp for boycotting his government.

"How do they want to boycott everything and what will they achieve?" he wondered.

"What made me stay (in power) is my belief and faith that Leb will remain and can only be governed in this manner," the premier noted.

"I don't have the priority of becoming a leader over the remains of my country," he declared.

"Should we create a storm while we are in the eye of the storm? I'm more than willing to resign and I only believe in the Lebanese agenda and I'm counting on the Lebanese," Miqati announced.

Expressing his willingness to step down if a political agreement is reached, the premier said: "If my resignation would open the door to a crisis, then I will not resign, but if it would open the door to a solution, then my resignation is on the table."
