What are the real issues at play behind Lebanon’s response to the US-backed proposal? Editor-in-Chief of The Truth website Dr. Hady Murad shares his insight.
00:00Now, some things have not been, well, they've been addressed by the collective presidential response as well,
00:05but there's some real issues that are at play here. What are those issues?
00:10Okay, actually, right now, the big elephant inside the room is the disarmament of the Hezbollah from Lebanon.
00:18And this is not negotiated till now between the three presidents in Lebanon, Na'on, Nawaf Islam, and actually Nabi Burri and Hezbollah.
00:27The three presidents have actually a unified response to the proposal of Tom Barak.
00:34However, Hezbollah till now is not accepting the fact that these missiles are endangering Lebanon and putting Lebanon in the wide risky place.
00:47That's why Hezbollah is trying to be in a denial phase right now, though there is actually a clash in the leadership of Hezbollah.
00:56It's an exclusive information that we have from AlHakika.net, which is now the General Secretary, Na'im Qasim,
01:04Sheikh Na'im Qasim, is trying to say that we are going to have our armies and our missiles till the last martyred in Lebanon.
01:12So he is trying to risk the whole Lebanese population, not only the Shia population, the whole Lebanese population, because he is saying that we are already losing in Lebanon.
01:22So why to lose alone? Let us have this battle lost among the whole Lebanese citizens.
01:32However, the other party in Hezbollah, which is made by the D.U. Mohamed Raad, and also Mohamed Raad, actually,
01:43is trying to say that we want to abide by the rules of this proposal of Tom Barak,
01:48because we cannot come into, again, another war which could make lots of losses inside the Lebanese population
