Hezbollah's Nawaf Moussawi: Only force can compel Israel to leave Lebanon
Hezbollah's Nawaf Moussawi: Only force can compel Israel to leave Lebanon Force must be used to liberate South Lebanon because Israel will never be convinced to withdraw through negotiations alone, senior Hezbollah official Nawaf Moussawi told Middle East Eye. Speaking to MEE in a wide-ranging interview at his Beirut office, Moussawi insisted that Lebanese-Israeli negotiations would remain…
Hezbollah's leader Nawaf Moussawi has stated that Israel will only leave Lebanon through the use of force, as negotiations alone will not suffice. In a recent interview with Middle East Eye, Moussawi explained that Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun must come to the table with leverage over the Israelis in order for talks to be productive.
However, Moussawi noted that the current lack of international pressure on Israel to withdraw forces from Lebanon, similar to the situation in Palestine, makes such pressure unlikely. The Hezbollah official, who oversees border and resource issues, affirmed that his organization will continue to engage in combat against the occupying forces until they completely withdraw from Lebanese territory.
