Hassan Nasrallah (file photo)The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah militant
group said Friday his movement will never recognize Israel. In
a speech marking the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed, Hassan Nasrallah
said he rejected American conditions for dialogue, including
recognition of the state of Israel. The United States considers
Hezbollah a terrorist organization and has called on the Shi'ite group
to renounce violence. During
his speech, Nasrallah also welcomed Arab reconciliation efforts and
called on Arab nations to show support for Iran, which backs Hezbollah.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt held talks with Syria in the Saudi capital,
Riyadh, this week, in a bid to mend rifts. Some information for this
report was provided by AFP.
