Hezbollah slams Arabs over Annapolis

The Lebanese Islamic Resistance Movement, Hezbollah slammed Arab countries for attending the Annapolis confab, saying the gathering will not restore the Palestinians' rights.

"In the past, there have been conferences like the Annapolis which did not restore any rights of the Arabs, especially those of the Palestinians," Hezbollah MP Hussein Hajj Hassan said on Wednesday.

"This conference is worse than the previous ones because its aim is normalization of ties with the Zionist enemy and elimination of the most important elements of the Palestinian cause which is the right of return," he added.

Many Palestinians fear a future deal might result in the wavering of their right to return to their lands.

"Unfortunately, the Arabs do not learn from their mistakes. They gave their cards to America, which is Israel's strategic ally and not their strategic ally, and therefore it will take everything and will give Arabs nothing," Hajj Hassan added.
