An organization of Americans of Lebanese descent in the U.S. has remembered in a statement the second anniversary of the Beirut Port Explosion and grieved with the many families "who still feel the pain of lost loved ones."

"August 4, 2020 was a day that will forever mark Lebanon and from which the country is still reeling. The passage of time does not bring back loved ones,” the Lebanese Information Center President, Joseph Gebeily, said.

Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday decried "the ugly political exploitation against the resistance" in connection with the Beirut port blast case.

A large section of Beirut's giant port grain silos, shredded by a massive explosion two years ago, collapsed on Thursday as hundreds marched in Beirut to mark the second anniversary of the blast that killed scores.

The northern block of the silos consisting of four towers has been slowly tilting for days and collapsed causing a huge cloud of dust that covered the structure that shielded Beirut's western neighborhoods when the blast occurred on Aug. 4, 2020 killing nearly 220 people, injuring over 6,000 and causing damage worth billions of dollars.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri announced Thursday that “the martyrs of August 4, the martyrs of entire Lebanon, are the victims of a crime that hit the core of every Lebanese.”

“I reiterate that the path that would definitely lead to justice and to unveiling the truth would be the implementation of the constitution and the law,” Berri said in a statement marking the second anniversary of the catastrophic Beirut port blast.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Thursday said he raises the “voice of anger against all officials, whoever they may be, wherever they may be and no matter their status,” in remarks marking the second anniversary of the tragic Beirut port blast.

“They are obstructing the investigation, as if everything that happened was a silly and trivial accident,” al-Rahi said during a mass commemorating the victims.

President Michel Aoun marked the second anniversary of the Beirut port blast on Thursday by saying that he shares “the grief of the victims’ families and the suffering of the detainees’ families.”

“I stress to them my commitment to fulfilling justice that is based on full truth, which should be unveiled by an honest judicial course that would go until the end, away from any falsification, selectivity or injustice, in order to hold accountable anyone whose involvement is verified,” Aoun said in a tweet.

Hezbollah on Thursday marked the second anniversary of the Beirut port explosion by expressing its “warm condolences” to “the families of all martyrs -- Christians and Muslims, Lebanese and non-Lebanese.”

“Over the past two years, we witnessed a huge wave of intensive political and media campaigns that included false accusations and a large amount of incitement that led to very dangerous domestic tensions that almost undermined the country’s security and stability, especially after the bloody incidents in Tayyouneh,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

On the second anniversary of the Beirut port explosion, the European Union and its Member States extended their "sympathy and thoughts to families who lost their loved ones on that tragic day, as well as to all those who were impacted."

"We also reiterate our solidarity with the residents of Beirut and the people of Lebanon, and our commitment to continue our support in response to the explosion, alongside civil society actors, who have played a critical role in these efforts," they said in a statement.

Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati on Wednesday snapped back at the Free Patriotic Movement, and blamed “the interference of the president’s entourage” among other things for the failure to form a new government.

“The FPM keeps stirring quarrels and reversing facts on the brink of the end of the presidential tenure, in a clear attempt to deviate attention from the failure that characterized the past years in all fields,” Mikati’s press office said in a statement.

Hezbollah deputy chief Sheikh Naim Qassem has noted that “today the Lebanese state is interested in the issue of recovering the water, oil and gas rights” and this is “a good scene.”

“The harmony present among the top leaders of the Lebanese state in favor of the unified stance on demarcation and on obtaining the Lebanese rights is a positive factor,” Qassem said in during a Ashura ceremony.
