Hizbullah on Sunday set its interpretation for the proposed defense strategy, saying it should focus on "cooperation and coordination between the Lebanese Army and the resistance in confronting Israeli aggressions on Lebanon."

The head of Hizbullah's parliamentary bloc Mohammed Raad made the interpretation in an interview with the Kuwaiti Daily al-Anbaa.

"This should set the criterion to choosing the army commander and director of intelligence," Raad added.

Hizbullah's declared concept of the defense strategy contradicts that of the March 14 majority alliance that wants Hizbullah's Islamic Resistance absorbed in the regular force.

Raad also criticized opponents of Hizbullah's call for expanding the agenda and list of participants in the National Dialogue Conference that President Michel Suleiman is to sponsor in line with the Doha Accord.
