The editor on chief of The Truth Website Dr. Hady Murad says Hezbollah must lower its expectations and stop pushing demands that are leading Lebanon into deeper gridlock. #Lebanon
00:00Dr. Hadi, it sounds like there might be some cracks in the surface of Hezbollah at the moment.
00:04Is there a feeling that they actually want to go to the negotiation table?
00:08Are they open to that or is there very much a faction that are sticking to their guns on this one, quite literally?
00:13Actually, my resources say that Hezbollah is trying to negotiate from a strong level,
00:20from the stronger player in the game.
00:24And from my resources, I know that Hezbollah is trying to ask for the trio or the al-muthalafah.
00:31It means that the Shia and the Sunni and the Christians will be having equal portions in the government and in the political system.
00:39And he's trying also to ask for, like, for example, prime minister.
00:44He is trying to get more roles in the constitution of Lebanon.
00:49However, this cannot happen while Hezbollah right now is the weakest point inside this, actually, political game or the political aspect or the political scene.
01:01Because in one year and a half, he could be asking for more requests in order to have in the negotiations.
01:09Right now, Hezbollah is not able to actually win or to overcome the challenges by asking for more and more requests.
01:21That's why I believe that Hezbollah should lower his expectation in order to save the Lebanese people, especially the Shia Lebanese people.
