Lebanon: "Hezbollah has a right to use its weapons against Israel ..."

AFP/ here

"Lebanon's new cabinet has agreed on a policy statement that acknowledges Hezbollah's right to use its weapons against Israel, despite disagreement by some members of the ruling majority.... the new statement will retain the same clause approved by the previous cabinet as concerns the arsenal of Hezbollah... The clause states the right of "Lebanon, its government, its people, its army and its resistance" to liberate all Lebanese territory....

..... reservations concerning the clause by members of the Western-backed majority would be noted in the government programme..."

Hello AFP and others! In case you were asleep there is no longer a majority or minority dichotomy in Lebanon. Old alliances have been replaced by new alliances. Western backed majority is a fiction of the imagination of those who think their wishes are facts on the ground.
