"If Nasrallah's arrogance allowed him to call on the Egyptian people and army to rebel against their legitimate authority, how can he persuade us today that he does not mean to intervene in Egypt's affairs?" -- Makram Mohamed Ahmed , Al-Ahram

"Nasrallah wanted to make Egypt an arena for anarchy, terrorism, destruction and assassinations, but God almighty and the protective eyes of the security forces protected Egypt." -- Mustafa Hassan , Al-Akhbar

"The Egyptian and Arab public know Hizbullah as the party that fought and defeated Israel and called for Jihad against Tel Aviv. Thus, many are willing to forgive it for calling on Egyptians to rebel against the regime." -- Yasser Abdel-Aziz , Al-Masry Al-Yom

"The fact that Hizbullah considers that other states can be an arena for its political and military activities, regardless of the reasons, means that the party does not respect the national sovereignty of Arab countries." -- Abdullah Iskandar , Al-Hayat

"The problem is not in Nasrallah's plans but the absence of a suitable official Egyptian response." -- Maamoun Fendi , Asharq Al-Awsat

"The new Israeli government, formed of terrorists, killers, war criminals and thieves, does not believe in peace." -- Rashid Hassan , Addustour
