Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc member considered, "Hizbullah's stance over the Lebanese-French Security Convention would not change, even if it would have been presented ten years ago, because Hizbullah's objection came over the misconception regarding the definition of terrorism".

In an interview with Al Anbaa Kuwaiti newspaper, Moussawi referred that the absence of clarification of the terrorism concept in the security convention will definitely cause some crisis in the future. He also called for revise the first article of the convention, so it would show the difference between the Lebanese definitions of legitimate resistance and terrorism.

Moussawi affirmed that Hizbullah's objection was not because the conventions were of a US and French parts, but because each had flaws, in addition that they breached the Lebanese constitution.

Regarding the UNIFIL troops in south Lebanon, Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc member referred that they are present for what the resolution 1701 states in helping the Lebanese army.

Concerning recent French stances, Moussawi believed that with Nikola Sarkuzy in Presidency, the French policy has become closer to the US stances, where some consider that total alliance with the US provides protection for the French interests.

"What matters for Lebanon is defending its national interests through stressing on its stances, because the priority of the western governments, including European governments, is protecting "Israel's" security", Nawwaf Moussawi said.
