The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc MP Mohammad Raad on Monday warned that the arms of the resistance are not subject to discussion.

Raad was speaking one day after results showed that the March 14 bloc had won the elections. The next phase after elections is forming a government with a policy statement that would govern its practice for the next four years.

"The majority must commit not to question our role as a resistance party, the legitimacy of our weapons arsenal and the fact that Israel is an enemy state," Raad told AFP.

He warned that the outcome of Sunday's vote signaled further political turbulence.
"The results indicate that the crisis will continue, unless the majority changes its attitude," said Raad.
