Fneish: We hope government formation stays out of foreign interventions tunnel

He said: "I see now as if Saad Hariri - the Prime Minister-designate in charge of forming government, has entered a debate that provides acceptable formulas or openings ", and stressed that "In the end we must reach a settlement, that satisfies all parties concerned", indicating that "Hizbullah is not inclined to enter via media platforms the process of defining workable formulas that translate the true partnership concept, in order to allow for negotiations to take place and to avoid cramming ourselves and each other in the process."

In response to a question about the outcome of the situation in the south and Hizbullah's role in the event of an Iranian-"Israeli" confrontation, he said: "We are not a mail box, we do not direct messages on anyone's behalf nor do we accept to receive them on anyone's behalf.

We are an active Lebanese force of strength, which employs its relations, the support it receives and any intersecting stands in Lebanon's interests first and foremost, in addition, the intersecting Arab-Lebanese interests do not harm us nor do the interest of a country that shares our position towards the 'Israeli'-American threats."

He added: "We recognize that States are not charities, hence in principle, if common interest dictates curbing 'Israeli' threats, the matter no longer becomes a 'charity act' in Iran's interest only, but in our interest and in the interests of Syria, Palestine and all Arab peoples."

He concluded: "In the event of a war on Iran, who said Iran needs to be defended? And, consequently, is it possible to imagine the repercussions of an 'Israeli' war against Iran? Is it possible to determine answers in advance round that? We may be able to identify principles we adhere to, our country's interests at their top. We are not adventurers as some think and we read well the equations in the conflict."
