Hizbullah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah stressed the continued need for the resistance’s, given the absence of a strong Lebanese state. He said that the major problem facing Lebanon’s political regime was political sectarianism. Speaking at a news conference through video phone to declare his party’s new political policy statement in Beirut’s southern suburb, Nasrallah said political sectarianism prevented the country’s modernisation and impeded the promotion of a democracy that grants the majority the right to govern and the minority the right to oppose.  Nevertheless, Nasrallah added that until the Lebanese manage to abolish political sectarianism through national dialogue, consensual democracy should be adopted as a basis for governance in Lebanon.  Tackling the Israeli threat, Nasrallah stressed the continued importance of the resistance, given the absence of a “strong capable Lebanese state” and the power imbalance between Lebanon and Israel.
