We are before a new and at the same time repeated chapter in the history of the Shiites and Jabal Amel. And we will cross into a new Middle East, at a heavy price.
It is the result of the wrong choices of the political and religious officials in the Shiite community. Joining the Iranian project makes Jabal Amel a card in the game of nations competing for influence in the region and turns southerners into scapegoats and Jabal Amel into scorched land. The Shiites need an alternative narrative, open to peace in the region with Israel, and less tied to religious and superstitious legacies.
The Shiite displacement is not the first in their history. The most recent was the campaign of Wali Ahmad Pasha on Jabal Amel as a result of a miscalculation in the political position of the Shiite leader in Jabal Amel at the time, Nassif al-Nassar, and his affiliations. And a military miscalculation, as the latter thought he would fight the army of al-Jazzar and the Janissary army with hundreds of sons of the villages.
Olive cultivation in Lebanon represents a distinctive case compared with other crops, given that the fate of a wide segment of farmers is tied to this sector. About 12 million olive trees are planted in Lebanon over an area of 62,000 hectares, representing about 24% of the utilized cultivated area of 260,000 hectares, which gives the sector a major opportunity for Lebanon to be among the leading countries in producing competitive-quality olive oil.
The South contributes about a quarter of Lebanon’s agricultural production, making it a fundamental pillar of food security and the national agricultural economy.

I don't see any reason to escalate the war on Iran at the moment
Israel would not have withstood Iran without our intervention, and the allies will pay the price for our protection of them

Regarding Iran, the mission has not yet been completed
The option of resistance remains, strong, impregnable and fortified by great sacrifices, the blood of martyrs, the wounded and prisoners, and the steadfastness of the fighters.
Iran has the ability to inflict severe harm and destroy American bases in the region, which Washington tries to conceal.
Lebanon lies at the heart of the regional equation linked to the Strait of Hormuz, which constitutes a major strategic pressure card and an influential weapon.
We came on a tour of the Arab neighborhoods
It is very unfortunate that Lebanese are being misled by talk of the government being lost or confused, as if it were subject to external bets and imaginary calculations. Our government governs by the force of the constitution, the law, and the parliamentary confidence granted to us twice, not once, and in accordance with its ministerial statement, not any alleged illusions.
While the Ministry recalls that targeting vital and civilian facilities constitutes a flagrant violation of the principles of international law, it renews Lebanon's full solidarity with the Kingdom and its stand by its side against anything that targets its security, stability and territorial integrity

We will not retreat from our security zones, and if Hezbollah attacks us in cooperation with Iran, it will face severe strikes.
The mission is not yet complete, as Iran seeks to acquire nuclear weapons, which poses a real threat to Israel.
Have we become under military rule that decides who is patriotic and who is not? Has the Taif Agreement become void? Have the powers of the government as a whole been withdrawn in determining the country's policy? What is happening is dangerous, very dangerous!
Iron Gate mission forces are operating at full capacity and effectiveness in Iran alongside the greatest naval blockade in history
Do not wait for America's results
What happened in the US elections does not affect us directly, because what is required in Lebanon is to restrict weapons to the hands of the state, which we have repeatedly demanded, and to support the policy of the country's president and the government in implementing this matter.
I apologize to the company's employees for my relationship with a Chinese woman suspected of being a spy
Those who seek to harm the brotherhood between Azerbaijan and Turkey will not achieve their goals. Just as they failed yesterday, they will fail today and tomorrow.
It is an organized and calculated campaign, and it paves the way for the formation of a minority government that includes Hamas supporters, a very short-lived government, after which Netanyahu will be installed for four years with a coalition of 70 Knesset members.
