Hezbollah MP attacks Sfeir

Hezbollah MP Nawaf Mousawi attacked Lebanon’s Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir for defending usage of arms in the Oyoun Orghosh incident and said chances of reaching a deal on a defense strategy are slim.

“Insistence by some to raise the issue of weapons is aimed at stirring sectarian hatred,” Mousawi told New TV channel.

Criticizing Sfeir without naming him, Mousawi asked: “How can some give the okay to a militia to defend territory – a decision that could lead to civil war — whereas the resistance gets no right to defend the nation?”
