Lebanon's PM thanks Hizbollah

"We are in a strong position and I thank the Sayyed for his efforts," Siniora said when asked about a statement by Hizbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah calling on the government to take advantage of Hizbollah's steadfastness against Israeli military might.

"I also thank all those who sacrifice their lives for the independence and sovereignty of Lebanon," he added.

Siniora, a member of Lebanon's anti-Syrian coalition, has often been at odds with the Syrian-backed Hizbollah, but the 19-day-old conflict appears to have brought the two sides closer together.
