 Former Lebanese Parliament Speaker Hussein Husseini held talks with Hizbullah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and expressed his support for the resistance movement. Husseini said there was a need to implement the Taif Accord but in a barely concealed swipe at UN Resolution 1559 dismissed what he referred to as "external interference."
| "I mean, we've gotten to our present state of stability without any external interference. Except for Syria, of course." |
Husseini said: "The resistance does not belong to a certain person or party. It is part of the jurisdiction of the constitutional institutions held responsible for the protection of the country." Husseini added: "We are about to reinforce these institutions as stipulated by the Taif Accord and the Constitution, and not according to the demands of some parties in Lebanon, or to some external interference." |
