Nasrallah Expected to Snap Back at Ban
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to criticize U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon on Saturday after he expressed “deep concern” about the military prowess of the party.
Nasrallah is scheduled to make a televised speech on the occasion of Arbaeen, which marks the end of 40 days of mourning following the anniversary commemorating the killing of Imam Hussein, one of Shiite Islam's most revered figures.
"I am deeply concerned about the military capacity of Hizbullah and also concerned about the lack of progress in disarmament," the U.N. secretary general told a news conference in Beirut on Friday after holding talks with Lebanese leaders.
"All arms outside state authority are not acceptable," he added.
Hizbullah official Ghaleb Abu Zainab had stated ahead of Ban’s press conference that the U.N. and its secretary general were biased towards the U.S. and Israel.
Last week, another Hizbullah official, Sheikh Mohammed Yazbeck, said Ban was not welcome in Beirut.
