Phalange: Tarshish Incident Proves Hizbullah Still Pursuing Plan to Establish Own State
The Phalange Party praised on Monday the residents of the town of Tarshish for preventing Hizbullah from expanding its telecommunications network in the town.
It said in a statement after its weekly politburo meeting: “The incident confirms that Hizbullah is pursuing its plan to construct its own state by bringing together the regions it controls under its own telecommunications network.”
“Such a development is a threat against the country’s sovereignty and the law,” it added.
“Is it acceptable for a side that is not affiliated with the state to abuse state property?” it asked.
“Why is the Lebanese government allowing such abuse? Is there an authority more powerful than it?” it wondered.
Who can cater to the Tarshish residents’ concerns if the state fails to do so? it continued.
The politburo also offered its condolences to Saudi Arabia over the death of Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz.
On the developments in Libya, the statement hoped that the new leadership will succeed in introducing democracy to the country.
On Friday, Tarshish residents prevented Hizbullah from expanding its telecommunications network.
The party sought to expand the network as a Telecommunications Ministry team was installing fiber optic cables to improve internet services.
The town residents noticed Hizbullah’s activity and thwarted them from pursuing their mission.
