The UK is considering banning Hezbollah’s political wing, worrying the organization enough to dispatch Rima Fakhry to London. But Fakhry’s comments to The Guardian only raise more questions about the blurry distinction between Hezbollah’s “military” and “political” wings.
She said she could not see a time when Lebanon and Israel could coexist peacefully: “Do you imagine one day the wolf and the sheep will live in peace? This is only in Walt Disney [films] maybe.”
Mrs Fakhry said her group believes in the destruction of Israel and expulsion of tens of thousands of Jews: “This is a hope, a long-term strategy.”
