The Shiite leader avowed Israel's responsibility for Hassan Lakkis' assassination.



"Israel has always spoken of waging a war against the brainpower of the Resistance in Lebanon, and Lakkis was one of our top intellect leaders," he said.



"Our accusations are not political! They are based upon facts and evidences," he cried, reminding that Lakkis had survived several assassination attempts in the past.



Nasrollah said "our killer is well known. Our enemy is well known and our opponent is well known. The assassination method as well as every evidence and indicator points the finger at Israel: Our first suspect."



Nasrollah somberly declared that killers will be punished sooner or later.



"He who killed our brothers will not be safe in any country in the world. Retaliation will be achieved, and when there will be a decision for it we shall decide at what time," Hezbollah Secretary General said, closing by so the first segment of his speech.



In the second place, Sayyed Nasrollah engaged in the Lebanese internal dossiers and, addressing his domestic opponents, he criticized the script of Tripoli's Declaration while depicting its content as "dangerous and unprecedented."

"This is a Declaration of war," he said.



Shiite leader called on political parties to leave room for reconciliation in Lebanon regardless of the escalation degree in speeches, "unless everyone has reached a conviction that there is no chance for coexistence."



Nasrollah called for protecting the military institution.



Pertaining to the government formation, he said that forming a neutral government or even a fait accompli government would be same as forming a "deception government."



He said the Lebanese President should announce, in light of his constitutional status, that the solution would be by forming a national unity government.



"This is what manhood is like and these are the national stances to be adopted if a person wishes to be a hero to face regional states," he explained.



He affirmed that Lebanon's salvation would be by forming a national unity government.
