Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah launched a verbal campaign against pro-government majority coalition which criticizes Hezbollah's adherence to weapons, LocalAn-Nahar website reported Monday.
"The state which does not preserve the right of the resistance, will not preserve the interests of its people," Hezbollah member of Parliament Mohammed Raad said.
Pointing to the non-stop Israeli threat to Lebanon, Raad said that Israel has even hinted it would target Lebanon for "simply sensing that a protection force is built to protect our country."
Meanwhile, Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadllalah warned Premier Fouad Seniora against manipulating the constitution, and asked him not to go beyond unanimous cabinet decisions because "taking decisions against the resistance is no longer accepted in Lebanon," he said.
Hezbollah's campaign comes at a time when the Lebanese Parliament is debating the new cabinet policy statement to give it the voice of confidence, and amid sharp disputes regarding Hezbollah's right to resist Israel away from state control.
