Lebanese MP: US, Israel benefit from regional tensions

Member of Lebanese Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, Ali Fayyad, said Monday that all security deterioration in the region serves the United States and "Israel".

Speaking at a funeral ceremony in South Lebanon, the MP denounced car-bombs in Damascus last week, which killed 44 people.

"The explosions in Damascus and Iraq have nothing to do with reform and change, but aim at pushing the region into a tunnel of sectarian tension," he said.

He concluded by affirming that Hezbollah was pressing on, as nothing would turn back the hands of time for the Islamic Resistance.
