Qassem Says Hizbullah Not Worried of Elections
Hizbullah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday said that his party is not “worried” over the results of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
“We are awaiting the date of the upcoming parliamentary elections so that people decide what they want and we’re not worried of these elections,” Hizbullah number two said in an interview with Iran’s FARS news agency.
Moreover, Qassem lashed out at the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon, accusing it of “sponsoring civil society organizations and building them on the basis of stirring chaos and troubles, sabotaging the country’s situation, blocking roads and spoiling the generations with perverse ideas and beliefs.”
“This embassy is endorsing the course of the Lebanese Forces, the party that committed massacres against the Lebanese throughout its entire history,” Qassem added.
