Hezbollah urges Arab summit to send weapons to Palestinians
March 18, 2002, 08:31 PM
DOHA (AFP) - The head of Lebanon's Shiite militia Hezbollah called on Arab countries at their summit in Beirut next week to decide to supply weapons for the Palestinian uprising against Israel.

"The Arab summit is called upon to decide to supply and transport weapons to the Palestinians," Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said in an interview to be published Tuesday in the Qatari newspaper Al-Watan.

"If they (the Palestinians) had weapons, the (Israeli) occupation forces could not penetrate into autonomous Palestinian cities," Nasrallah argued.

He said supplying arms to the Palestinians was a "legal" act and that "the terrorist is not the one who gives such weapons ... but those who give them to (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel) Sharon, in other words the US administration."

"The Palestinians do not need Arab troops ... but weapons," he said.

Heads of state of the 22-member Arab League are to meet in Beirut on March 27-28, with a Saudi land-for-peace initiative with Israel at the top of their agenda.
