“The indictment is a thing of the past”

May 9, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Hezbollah’s Nawaf El Moussawi:

[The indictment is] not worth the paper it is written on, [it is a] diplomatic tool in judicial garb to achieve Israeli and American goals. No one can blackmail the Resistance in Lebanon […] we are not ready to negotiate over it or make concessions. The indictment is a thing of the past.”

Mind you. He’s not saying that Hezbollah is not guilty. He’s just saying that Hezbollah is not ready to negotiate or make concessions.
