Hezbollah MP says US obstructing reconstruction, resistance 'committed' to its people
Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said Thursday that Israel has not achieved its goals in Lebanon, accusing the U.S. of obstructing the reconstruction of war-hit regions.
Fadlallah said that even though the balance of power has shifted in the region and in Lebanon, the resistance is still protecting the South despite Israeli plans of occupying it and transforming it to a buffer zone.
He added that some state institutions, including Lebanon's Central Bank, are tightening the restrictions on any side or association trying to offer aid to the people. "This is a reflection of the American financial blockade, which is trying by all means to prevent reconstruction aid from reaching Lebanon."
Fadlallah said the U.S. is offering rewards to anyone who provides information to prevent reconstruction funds from reaching Lebanon and is also pressuring countries willing to help.
Hezbollah is meanwhile trying to pressure the government to include the reconstruction in its budget, Fadlallah said, vowing that Hezbollah is committed to its people and that announcements will be made at the right time.
