Raad calls for ending occupation through 'diplomacy or resistance or both'

The head of Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc, MP Mohammad Raad, noted Thursday that Hezbollah “has firmly committed to the ceasefire” agreement with Israel, “although it knew that the enemy will not abide by it, and despite the Israeli violations that have persisted since the first days.”

“The resistance has not been a replacement for the state in shouldering responsibility but has helped it in order to protect Lebanon, push the occupation to withdraw and preserve sovereignty and national dignity. And now the government has announced the reform slogan and we will help in achieving it,” Raad added.

“The resistance’s priorities in this stage are ending the occupation in a full manner, through the state, diplomatic means or resistance, or through them both. What matters is ending the occupation in a full manner, reconstruction, preserving national sovereignty, achieving the aspired reform in the state’s structure, and keenness on national partnership,” Raad explained.
