"This team [March 14] had a long experience in ruling the country. However, they accumulated political, economic, and structural crises parallel to sixty billion dollars general debt," His Eminence stated.

Meanwhile, he accused March 14 of "introducing foreign interventions into Lebanon, dragging the country in regional crises, as well as raising slogan's against the resistance, similar to those raised through "Israeli"-American demands in favor of the Zionist entity. "
Our call for dialogue seeks in its minimum purpose to look for solution and its maximum to accomplish all the uncompleted files.
"The goal of their boycott is to disrupt the implementation of a new elections law and all other excuses are inaccurate," The Hizbullah top official said.

His Eminence further noted that "Their opposition to engage in Dialogue proves they seek isolation which in turn damages Lebanon."
