My position alongside His Eminence the Mufti of the Republic, Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian, and Dar al-Fatwa is clear and leaves no room for ambiguity
The state is with you
The South is not well, and therefore all of Lebanon is not well. The state's absolute priority is liberating the South and extending its authority through its own forces, the army and the security forces, down to the last grain of the South's soil
The state will always stand by the citizens
With the passage of time, the picture becomes clearer: the attacker underwent an Islamic radicalization process. He came to bring down the plane with its passengers. We are investigating whether he was sent, and whoever sent him will pay a heavy price.
It will not leave Israel alone
The martyrdom of the master of resistance and a number of leaders did not prevent the new generation of Hezbollah fighters from continuing to fight
There have been many warnings and nights when the security system was busy clarifying the situation and adjusting alert levels up and down; we have seen many nights of high readiness. As for Hezbollah, it is certainly an element that enters into Iran's calculations if it enters into a confrontation with Israel.
There have been a large number of pending incidents recently, some of which may develop into attacks targeting the Israeli home front from multiple directions, and not necessarily directly from Iran.
The Iranians are looking for tools to deal with this situation, and are wondering how to get out of it. It is logical to assume that they are also discussing the possibility of influencing the elections to understand the other side.
In light of the continuing uncertainty in the region, we affirm our commitment to supporting efforts that enhance security and preserve Lebanon's sovereignty
highly values its firm partnership with Lebanon and the Lebanese Army
I was pleased to visit Lebanon and meet senior political, military and international officials.
Gibran Bassil continues to export lies, and his ambition for the presidency undermined an internal front that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah worked for, one who later refrained from meeting him or communicating with him
We targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon this week in response to the launching of a booby-trapped drone toward our forces in the security zone
A meeting in Riyadh soon for the Strategic Political Defense Committee under the Mecca Agreement
Our efforts regarding the American-Iranian talks are ongoing
I hold the president and the prime minister responsible in this regard; we can never accept this or stay silent about it from now on.
The worst authority in Lebanon's history is this authority that conspires against southern Lebanon and against this very sect.
You only talk about weapons, so we ask you: are there solutions if these weapons are handed over?
All kinds of trade need capital, except the trade in religions... it needs empty heads!!
And in our country there are so many of them.
The dignity of Dar al-Fatwa, its prestige, and the unity of the Sunni sect are red lines that no one may cross or tamper with
We reject this campaign clearly and firmly, and we call for it to be stopped immediately
No human is ever permanent in their position
It seems we have entered a cycle of negotiating for the sake of negotiating, and in every session the Lebanese delegation will receive new demands, so I advise that we benefit from the Oslo path and deepen coordination with the Ramallah district
the Peace Council
false reports
There will be no one but the Lebanese Army and the legitimate security forces, the sole authority responsible for the security of citizens.
They are the guardians of the land, and the state is your support; it will protect you and will not abandon a single inch of your land.
