How does the government allow arrangements of this kind, if true, when it had previously taken a decision on March 2 considering Hezbollah's military actions outside the law? Are the government's decisions binding on everyone, or is there someone who has the privilege of bypassing them?

What was stated in Hezbollah's statement regarding the existence of prior security arrangements with the security agencies places the government before a serious test of its credibility, and requires an immediate clarification from the ministers of interior and defense to reveal the truth of these arrangements and the parties that authorized them, and if proven, subject them to accountability and reckoning.

The delay in implementing the government’s decisions, dealing with the file with excessive sensitivity, laxity in enforcing the law on the ground, and the failure to provide the necessary political cover for the security forces to implement the decisions. All these factors allowed this group, which is outside the law according to the government’s decisions, to persist, retain a surplus of power, and openly challenge the state. But the problem is not in the strength of Hezbollah or the forces of defiance as much as it is in the weakness of the state itself, which is still unable to impose its authority and implement its decisions on everyone.

Any mistake regarding the resistance is tantamount to a declaration of an existential war on Lebanon and its sovereignty in favor of terrorist Israel, and a mistake in this area is tantamount to crushing and burning every inch of Lebanon.

Yes, the shipment of explosive materials seized by the authorities last week belongs to Hezbollah. Since the car was stopped, Hezbollah has been in contact with the security and judicial agencies and informed them that the car and its cargo belong to the resistance. We demanded the immediate release of the detainees and the recovery of the car and what is inside it, because it is “capabilities” that Hezbollah uses against Israel. We call on the authorities to immediately release the detainees, recover the car and its contents, and retract all these measures, because this resistance will defend the rights of its people and its capabilities with which it confronts the Israeli enemy, and will not tolerate any targeting by any party implementing American demands against our resistance.
