BEIRUT: Future Movement MP Ahmad Fatfat Tuesday hit back at Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, accusing him of thinking only of the region and regional wars, but never of Lebanon.
“We talk about a state, but he [Nasrallah] talks about no state,” Fatfat told local daily Al-Joumhouria. “We talk about Lebanon, where as in his speeches there is nothing called Lebanon, but the region and regional wars and conflicts.”
Fatfat said Nasrallah has gone beyond basic political issues “by emphasizing the regional role and that there is no such thing as neutrality, independence and sovereignty, and spoke about a regional battle that determines the fate of the region.”
Nasrallah has even tried to show himself different from the others, according to Fatfat.
“He even appeared to be hinting to Saudi Arabia that he can be its ally, not ISIS, which is trying to reach Mecca and Medina.”
Fatfat, however, stressed that dialogue between Hezbollah and the Future Movement was not a waste of time.
“If we can defuse [Sunni-Shiite] tension why not?” But Fatfat believed Hezbollah should do more.
“To east tension, this requires a change in the political speech and this never happened.”
In a speech Monday, Nasrallah urged the Lebanese Army to get ready to face threats from Islamist militants near the border with Syria when winter ends.
Speaking at an annual rally to commemorate the Israeli assassinations of ex-Hezbollah chief Sayyed Abbas Musawi, commander Imad Mughniyeh and Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Nasrallah devoted most of his speech to highlighting the danger posed to the entire world by ISIS and the Nusra Front, Syria’s Al-Qaeda affiliate, after they committed atrocities that tarnished the image of Islam.
He called for combined global action to confront the two militant groups, which have beheaded and burned to death some of their captives.
