Senior Hizballah official Rima Fakhry told her British hosts Monday that ?one day the Palestinians will destroy Israel and return to their land.?

In an interview with London's Guardian daily newspaper, Fakhry said ?the state of Israel is an illegal state,? and its Jewish inhabitants have no right to live in the region.

The only female among Hizballah's leadership said Israel's ultimate demise and the expulsion of its Jews remains ?is a hope, a long-term strategy? for the Arab world.

Fakhry said she could not see a time when Lebanon and Israel could have peaceful relations.

?Do you imagine one day the wolf and the sheep will live in peace? This is only in Walt Disney [films] maybe.?

She suggested this is the feeling of most Lebanese, evidenced by the high acclaim Hizballah has won for seemingly chasing the IDF out of southern Lebanon in 2000.

Fakhry was in London to urge the government of Prime Minister Tony Blair not to bow to Israeli and US pressure by outlawing Hizballah.

?There is no reason for that and Europe knows it is not true Hizballah is a terrorist group,? she insisted.
