Hasan Nasrallah's interview. I watched the interview with Hasan Nasrallah carried live on New TV. The interviewer is Batul Ayyub of Manar TV. She is a good interviewer and she asked tough questions. One thing stuck in my mind: when he spoke about "brotherhood and love" between Hizbullah and the Saudi government. For some reason, I did not get a fuzzy feeling. He also said that Hizbullah always counts (yu`awwil) on the "positive role of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon." The position of Hizbulalh is now this: the March 14th Movement is a movement that is implementing an Israeli-US plan in Lebanon but we would like to make an alliance and form a government with them. OK. There is more to say but I alas don't have time.
