Al-Jarrah to LBCI: The 'other party' cannot keep assassinating its rivals

Future bloc MP Jamal al-Jarrah said on Thursday that the "other party" should understand that it cannot keep getting rid of its rivals through political assassinations or thorough imposing its will by force of arms. “If they have a problem with the Taif agreement or with quotas, let them say it clearly.”      

On internal matters Jarrah said: "I call on PM Najib Mikati to announce publicly that there are no funds for the ranks and salaries series."    

Speaking on the visit of the March 14 delegation to Gaza, Jarrah said that it aimed at showing solidarity with Palestinians who faced an atrocious Israeli offensive. “They conveyed a message of support and stressed the importance of unity among Palestinians since it is the sole means to achieving their goals.”      

Al-Jarrah told Nharkom Said that the delegation received a warm welcome from the Palestinian leaders in Gaza, whether in the legislative council or in the government. “MP Antoine Zahra was welcomed and highly appreciated; this infuriated and provoked some leaders who want to monopolize the resistance and accuse all those who have a different opinion of espionage,” he said.   

Jarrah considered that the saying “Gaza triumphed using Iranian weapons” is unfounded. “This was the opinion of Hamas' leader Ismail Haniyeh who stressed that the victory was achieved thanks to the Palestinians’ capacities and the rockets which were developed in Gaza by Palestinians.”    

On another note, al-Jarrah said that Hamas left Damascus since it cannot but be loyal to its principles as a resistance movement. “It cannot stand with the oppressor against the oppressed, as Iran or Hezbollah do.”
