BEIRUT- Lebanon First bloc MP Okab Sakr told LBCI television on Friday that the role of the Resistance should be clearly defined so as to set the political balance within the country and enable the state to impose authority throughout its territory.

Sakr added that March 14 is on a “national mission” and “simply requests” that Hezbollah not be entity acting in parallel to the Lebanese army. He explained that Hezbollah’s parallel existence does not help in the country’s fight against Israel nor in the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions.

Sakr touched Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s expected visit to Syria once the cabinet is granted the vote of confidence, saying the trip’s “content,” namely that a PM is visiting a state to build bilateral relations, is more important than its timing and formalities.
