Sheikh Qassem Rules out War but Says Hezbollah Should be Ready


Almanar

06/02/2010 Hezbollah’s deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem said Hezbollah hasn't received any indications of Israeli readiness to launch war on Hezbollah or in the region. "Israel is a real danger; we can't be reassured; we have to be in full preparedness (for war). We don't know when surprises would come or what could happen regionally and internationally," Sheikh Qassem told Syria's Addounia TV.

"There is no resistance without arms. Weapons are the result of the resistance's existence and the resistance is there because of the presence of the enemy," Sheikh Qassem said.

Turning to relations with Syria, his eminence said Hezbollah encouraged Prime Minister Saad Hariri's visit to Damascus which has shocked the March 14 team. Asked about ties with Egypt, the Hezbollah secretary general said: "The Egyptian regime has its own functioning method. We don't approve such a method."
