Beirut: Hamas's victory in the Palestinian polls shows increasing public trust in resistance groups leading the government, Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrillas said. People are rejecting the Western principle that "those who resist cannot work in politics", said Hizbollah deputy Shaikh Naim Kassem. The Hizbollah has been in parliament for over a decade, while Hamas is poised to shape the next Palestinian Cabinet. In Egypt, the opposition Muslim Brotherhood won about one-fifth of seats in parliament last year. Kassem said more people in the region are turning to resistance groups to represent them and express their demands. "We do not see any problem with the resistance being the rulers and being in senior political positions in different places in the region," he said.
"They will not find after today a resistance [movement] that will remain far from its belief in representing its people and expressing its demands." "We want the government to announce that the resistance is not a militia and that we be real partners in the government," Kassem said.
