IDAF sent this summary of today's speech by Hizbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.<\/p>\n

\"nspeech.jpg\"<\/p>\n

On the Presidential Elections (Written by Idaf)<\/strong><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
In short, Nasrallah gave the March 14 group 3 options:<\/div>\n
    \n
  1. Accept the Berri initiative where the opposition would accept a consensus president in return for dropping its demand for a unity government.<\/li>\n
  2. Amending the constitution one time only for a direct "one man one vote" for the president and drop the debate of "half+1" vs. "two thirds" (of votes in the parliament). This would sideline all the sectarian Zaiims and give power to the people. <\/li>\n
  3. Hire 5 scientific polling companies to survey the Lebanese public on all presidential nominees and accept the findings in the parliament as the next president of Lebanon.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    It'll be interesting to watch the debate in the next few weeks on these options.<\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n
    On the Assassinations in Lebanon<\/strong><\/div>\n

    <\/strong><\/div>\n
    But the most important part of Nasrallah's speech is his counter-offensive on the "who is behind killing politicians in Lebanon". He said that it is his "view and belief" and "not a hypothesis anymore" that it is Israel that is behind the killings in Lebanon.<\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n
    He argued that Israel is "no ally of March 14" therefore they are potential Israeli targets whenever there's a political gains from killing some of them. He reminded us of how most of the assassinations took place in the areas where Israel historically had influence and security presence in Lebanon (implying to areas under control by the Lebanese Forces militia).<\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n
    He said that these assassinations are carried out by Israel and "might or might not be in coordination with the US administration". He reminded everyone of a very interesting trend in the assassinations I mentioned few weeks ago<\/a>. He said that these assassinations are designed to put the opposition on the defensive whenever it is gaining power or there's an initiative to solve a political problem. His argument is that Syria<\/a> can't be putting its allies in Lebanon in this position repeatedly and shoot itself in the foot time and again. He listed "a sample" of 3 assassinations: Jubran Tuaini was assassinated less than 24 hours before the Security Council meeting on Syria to discuss the Mehlis report (a couple of days after returning to Lebanon). Pierre Gemayel was assassinated on the same day that there was a Security Council meeting for the international tribunal (days before the launch of the mass opposition movement in Beirut). Ghanem was killed on the day of another Security Council meeting on the proceedings of launching the tribunal (7 days before the parliament presidential elections meeting and 2 days after coming back from self imposed exile).<\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n
    Here's the part of the transcript with Nasrallah's case and argument regarding Israel's motives for the assassinations:<\/div>\n

    On the Peace Conference<\/strong><\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n
    Other points worth mentioning in his speech was a direct appeal to Saudi NOT to attend the "peace conference". As he put it, it'll be a "free normalization" gift that would boost the "weak Olmert government" without anything in return.<\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n

     <\/div>\n
    He noted the irony of speaking about peace while Israel is actually stacking its army in the Golan Heights<\/a> as an apparent preparation for war. He also said that in the last 3 weeks, Israel has expanded its violations of Lebanese skies up to Bikaa in an unprecedented scale in no-war times.<\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n
    On the Strike on Syria<\/strong><\/div>\n
     <\/div>\n
    On the Israeli strike on Syria, he gave his analysis that this was to achieve 2 goals: "Shake Syria" before Bush's peace conference so that it would bring down its "resistance" OR it was a move to pull Syria into a regional war in coordination with the Americans (that could pull Iran in).<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n

     <\/p>\n

    My (Alex's) reading of the speech:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Nasrallah's speech gave us one more reason to believe that events are more likely to be leading towards a confrontation in Lebanon, and perhaps throughout the Middle East. By announcing his preference for asking the Lebanese people to directly elect Lebanon's new president, he is preparing his moral arguments in case there is a breakout of hostilities in Lebanon in the near future. I can already imagine his speech three months from now in which he says "I offered those who call themselves "the majority" to let the people pick their own president, but they rejected my proposal and all other reasonable and generous offers" <\/p>\n

    Nasrallah felt for the first time confident enough to publicly declare his belief that Syria is innocent in all of Lebanon's political assassinations. In the past, he was always cautious whenever he commented on this sensitive issue. There was always some ambiguity in his position. But by clearly siding with the Syrians today, he is siding against some of the Lebanese who feel very strongly that "Syria did it". This could be an indication that Nasrallah considers the damaged relations between him and the March 14 group to be beyond repair at this point.<\/p>\n

    Finally, his call on Saudi Arabia to boycott the upcoming Middle East peace conference is also not the way the Saudis want him to communicate with them. The fact Nasrallah decided to convey that public message to the Saudis also reflects a change in his previously sensitive approach to dealing with the Saudis.<\/p>\n

    In case the Lebanese March 14 group fail to accept Nasralla's compromise solution (through direct elections), his speech suggests that he wants everyone to know that it is now fair if he seeks Syria's backing and support against Israel's attempts to destabilize his country.<\/p>\n

    In a day or two we will probably hear something from the March 14 group's leaders. I doubt they will accept a democratically elected president.<\/p>\n
