NNA - Concessions made by us, won't forfeit party strategic options, head of the Hizbullah parliamentarian Bloc Muhammad Raad, stated during the funeral of a slain party member in 'Aramta/south Lebanon today.



Hopefully, the prospective government would defuse tension and ward off strategic threats surrounding the country, Raad added. While we discuss the form and content of any cabinet policy statement, our convictions shall remain unshaken so that we do not get swarmed by the present crisis, Raad went on.



We will never give up on our Covenant with Allah particularly that the dire past experience taught us that capitalizing on external forces for the attainment of peace and stability, are void of any meaning, he exclaimed. If we wish to preserve our country God willing, with our sheer determination and iron will we shall ever remain at the ready, he concluded.
