Nasrallah urges Arab states not to attend US-sponsored Middle East peace conference

Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday called the US-sponsored international Middle East peace conference as a part of US-Israeli plot. Speaking on the occasion of international Quds Day in Beirut, Nasrallah warned Arab nations especially Saudi Arabia not to take part in the conference.

"It's for the Israeli regime to receive normalization with the Arab countries that do not recognize the entity right now and on the other hand it will have nothing for the Palestinians" he said. "Why should we offer this great benefit to the weak cabinet of Ehud Olmert?" he asked.

Nassrallah stressed that the Israeli cabinet must be indicted for the 2006's July War in an international court.

According to the Shiite leader, Israel's goals in Lebanon included having Hizbullah dragged into internal conflicts, "so as to distract us from our true goal and to weaken our performance." "But Israel should know we will never take any Lebanese group as our enemy," he said.

Regarding the Israeli attack on Syria last month he said "these measures seem to be a psychological war or a preliminary to launch an aggression."

He also called for a unified Arab stance concerning the situation in Palestine. "We are not urging Arab leaders to prepare for a large-scale war against Israel because this will not happen," he said. We only call on Arab countries to support Palestinians both politically and financially and they, in turn, will know how to handle their own problems very well."
