(MENAFN) Thanking Lebanese people who supported Hezbollah in the election, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah said that parliament membership is not a position sought but rather a duty in front of Allah and a trust from people that should be preserved.
In a televised speech he delivered Monday, his eminence considered that the election was a great achievement after nine years, giving credit on that to Lebanese President Michel Aoun who vowed to hold elections during his era, and to the Lebanese government and all the Lebanese people who cooperated to make this achievement.
"What we aimed at was achieved," Hezbollah secretary general said, adding that "this is a political and moral victory for the choice of resistance which will protect the country's sovereignty."
His eminence indicated that "there were many attempts by the US and some Gulf states to distort the image of Hezbollah and impose new sanctions and pressure on it."
