Hezbollah MP throws support behind state, criticizes Lebanese rivals
MP Ali Fayad of Hezbollah said “the situation that Lebanon is going through in general, and the South in particular, requires wisdom and patience but at the same time firmness, resilience and courage.”
“Each stage has its necessities and requirements, and the Lebanese have agreed that the government manage the national stance in the face of the Israeli enemy’s hostile actions and repeated violations,” Fayad said at the funeral of a slain Hezbollah member.
“We support the government for the sake of achieving the national objectives in imposing an Israeli withdrawal from our land and protecting our people and national interests, and we have declared our commitment to what it has committed itself to in terms of Resolution 1701’s executive measures,” the lawmaker added.
“All Lebanese must understand the dangerousness of what Israel is seeking in its consolidation of occupation, preventing residents from returning to their border towns and the insistence on targeting civilians under empty, fabricated and weak alibis and excuses,” Fayad went on to say.
Warning that Israel is “practicing the policy of security and military escalation all the way to returning to war in order to empty the South of its residents, which paves the way for extremely dangerous courses, with the aim of creating drastic changes in the political and social situations in Lebanon,” Fayad added that “the problem imposed by the Israeli threat is no longer related to the resistance’s arms, but has started to threaten the entire country, in its border, land, state and structure.”
“All of this is happening amid U.S. collusion and international carelessness,” Fayad added.
The MP also criticized some Lebanese parties who are “offering justifications and alibis to the enemy and justifying its attacks on the Lebanese, launching stances that don’t care about national solidarity or the requirements of internal stability.”
“They don’t feel the magnitude of suffering and pain that the people of the South are going through after they lost their sons and their homes were destroyed,” Fayad said.
