Sayyed Fadlullah: A hidden plan is being carried out
by international and non international parties to prolong the Lebanese
crisis
The Religious Authority, Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlullah,
considered in a statement he made lately that there is a hidden plan
that is carried out by international and non international parties to
prolong the crisis in Lebanon. That is why, the Arab movement to which
some international and regional parties are attracted, has remained
blurry, since no serious talks were held over the formation of a
national unity government that represents the issue which is still
being disputed about on the internal level and was monitored on the
external level.
His Eminence indicated that the relations between different
Lebanese factions and foreign parties, whether Arab or non-Arab,
should be monitored from the perspective of the interests of the
country, and there should be no talk about pressures exerted by
foreign parties on their friends in Lebanon, because that will raise
another talk about other pressures exerted by other foreign parties on
other Lebanese factions, thus leading to an internal discord.
The Sayyed pointed out that the problem in Lebanon lies in the fact
that each country is trying to boost its presence in Lebanon, keeping
it an open ground. In addition, the "cold" inter-Arab relationships
have left their marks on Lebanon and are still doing so. That is
because there is a difference between directing these relations on the
formal level and directing them on the practical level.
His Eminence noticed that the situation in Lebanon seems to be
blurry because there is a hidden plan carried out by international and
non international parties in the aim of extending the Lebanese crisis,
in addition to the American attempts that seek to link this crisis to
the regional crisis on the political and security levels.
He added: "Therefore, we should be aware of what America wants from
Iraq and Palestine…whereas, the Lebanese people are the last ones to
be cared about. That is because the problem resides in the fact that
every party in Lebanon will always find those who applaud for it since
the Lebanese people are educated on caring about their personal
interests that is represented by their factional affiliation… Thus,
they will all stay in the heart of the ongoing crisis. Besides, the
Lebanese remain to be a wood for the fire that is required to stay
ignited for the interests of other parties and more than one dossier
in the region…Thus Lebanon remains an open ground for the external
players.
