BEIRUT, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed Friday that the region "entered a new phase."
In a televised speech Nasrallah said "there are important events taking place in the region like the battle in Syria's Aleppo and the next victory in Aleppo will apply on all the other fronts in the region."
Referring to the domestic issues, Nasrallah said that no political party in Lebanon is trying to block the formation of the new government.
"Claims that Speaker Berri, Hezbollah or Marada Movement Chief MP Suleiman Franjieh are obstructing the formation of the cabinet are baseless, false and unjust," Hezbollah's chief said.
He emphasized that Hezbollah's relation with Aoun and the Free Patriotic Movement is "excellent and built on mutual respect and deep trust."
Moreover, Nasrallah denied that Hezbollah is "dismayed" by the president's foreign relations or the latest visit to Lebanon by a senior Saudi delegation.
Aoun was elected president on Oct. 31, ending more than two years of presidential vacuum started with the end of the 6-year tenure of former President Michel Suleiman.
