These measures contributed to creating a state of deterrence and prevented the enemy from daring to enter the country's borders
The Lebanese Army, composed of 80,000 soldiers, is not incapable at all, and the explosives have cornered the military and political leaderships; they are buying time while the party arms itself.
The entry of prohibited explosives and their carrying without government decisions is a criminal offense, and we have become accustomed since 2008 that Hezbollah is involved in assassinations. To the state I say: 'Take the decisions now, otherwise it will be very difficult to take them later.'
Why has the government not yet issued an arrest warrant against Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem and all the military leaders of the party?
We are here to hear all the problems this region suffers from, and it is our duty to give the citizen all medical needs, especially for workers
The time has come for the Lebanese citizen to have a health card, so that the citizen is no longer humiliated at hospital doors
Were it not for the sacrifices of the martyrs and the resistance, and were it not for the resistance's presence in Lebanon, Lebanon would be an Israeli colony
Lebanon's gateway to Syria and from there to all countries
Syria is heading toward an economic renaissance, and extends its hand to Lebanon to build a real partnership
Netanyahu, like a bankrupt gambler, is desperately trying to save himself by sacrificing more American lives and money
He has no regard for his own people, in order to escape justice
Netanyahu is a war criminal wanted for justice, and his hands are stained with the blood of Arabs, Americans and Iranians
It is not a provocation.
His country cherishes peace but will not give up its freedom.
He ignores the facts, distorts the truth, misleads public opinion, and reveals hidden intentions.
Therefore, we do not approve of the contents of this agreement, because it has proven, as we feared, that it does not include a timetable for withdrawal, and does not include anything binding on Israel. Israel is the party and the judge in it. It decides what suits it; if it sees that there is a danger that might come to it from some side, even at the level of intentions, it can confront it by carrying out operations on Lebanese territory. This is what is actually happening.
We refuse to go to an agreement like the one reached in the framework agreement. It does not secure any of Lebanon's rights, but makes it waive its right to sue a state before international law that aggresses against it and commits crimes against humanity and war crimes, and makes it waive its sovereignty and the extension of its authority by its own forces on its land, if this matter is necessary for the Israeli side.
We believe Lebanon has no interest in entering wars that are others' wars on its territory, in which Lebanon, its youth and its land are used, and whose results are catastrophic for all Lebanese, not only for Hezbollah and its environment, but for all Lebanese.
The United States will not attack Iran at any time before the midterm elections
It constituted the beginning of a recovery path and an opportunity to build on, but the war halted this path and set the economy back, with the contraction estimated this year at about 6.4 percent
The Lebanese economy achieved growth of 4.2 percent last year
We are required to show true humility
We must analyze every signal and study it in depth
We all wanted to believe that we won the "Guardian of the Walls" battle, and the more spending on this victory increased, the more we clung to the idea of victory
Removing illegal weapons, combating terrorism, and pursuing all those outside the law is an irreversible path, and it will accelerate. The investigation related to the seized explosives, and everything branching from it, will be pursued to the end.
The citizen can no longer bear more partial solutions and deferred promises.
There is no value in a decision to pay without specifying how to pay and when.
dangerous and inflaming hostility
In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.
Whom do we believe? Who bears responsibility for displacing students to other schools? Who is responsible for this chaos at the start of the school year? And how will this school's student body be repaired after this disruption?
