Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem told the Intiqad e-newspaper that Hizbullah, unlike all other political forces, is "very comfortable with the progress of the election process in which the party would take part side by side with its allies."
He added he expected "the Lebanese national opposition" to win the majority of seats in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

His eminence underlined "Hizbullah sacrificed its candidate in the Beirut II district, Amin Sherri, to secure the opposition's general interests." He confirmed that "Hizbullah's path goes beyond the electoral battle, and it crosses domestic boundaries to regional ones, because our enemy is Israel, and we must believe that the region will be exposed to ‘Israeli' attacks in the future. This enemy understands one language, which is the language of resistance."

Sheikh Qassem also commented on the Egyptian "media campaign" after the discovery of a Hizbullah cell in Sinai two weeks ago, saying, "This campaign did not tarnish our image, on the contrary, it had showed our real image."
