March 14 Rejects Campaign against Mustaqbal, Jarrah; Warns of New Plan to Create Strife in Lebanon
The March 14 General Secretariat condemned on Wednesday the Syria’s accusations that the Mustaqbal movement is meddling in Syria’s internal affairs.
It said in a statement after its weekly meeting: “Hizbullah has taken advantage of the Syrian campaign to attack the movement and accuse it of Syria’s fabricated accusations in order to settle scores with the March 14 forces after its repeated demands that the party be disarmed.”
Hizbullah believes that launching the campaign will divert attention from the several crises it is going through, it continued.
“The March 14 forces are a national, political, popular, peaceful, and civil movement and it voices its support to Mustaqbal bloc MP Jamal al-Jarrah,” it said.
“It rejects the campaign against him and warns the Lebanese from getting involved in a new plan aimed at creating strife among them,” the statement stressed.
“It demands that Lebanese sovereignty be respected, especially the constitutional immunity granted to the representatives of the nation,” it added.
“It therefore asserts Speaker Nabih Berri’s responsibility in defending Jarrah and protecting him,” it stated.
“The March 14 forces have strived to prevent foreign meddling in Lebanon and it therefore rejects interfering in the affairs of others,” it said.
It also held Hizbullah and its allies responsible for the security and political repercussions maintaining their campaign will have in Lebanon.
It warned of a “dangerous conspiracy against Lebanon,” demanding Caretaker Foreign Minister Ali Shami to summon the Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali to clarify his recent statements on Syria’s accusations.
