In the past 48 hours I discussed by phone with 12 of my counterparts the repercussions of Washington's measures and the actions of the occupying entity
It has gained greater motivation, commitment and self-confidence
in a state of maximum alert, and it is stronger than it was at the beginning of the war, thanks to its experience in direct confrontation with America and the Zionist entity
We demand the world provide emergency services with what is necessary so we can save lives
It was emphasized that regional security arrangements must be established away from the intervention of powers from outside the region
I affirmed our legitimate right to defend our sovereignty and national security and the need to form regional security arrangements without foreign interference.
In the past 48 hours, I discussed by phone with 12 of my counterparts the repercussions of Washington's measures and the Zionist entity
Positions pass and elections end, but the impact we leave in people's lives is what remains.
The heroic resistance ended the American military occupation of Lebanon with one blow.
From the Marine barracks in Beirut to the al-Tanf base... we will reject the occupier and defeat him
They built a small air defense facility, but we completely destroyed it within 15 minutes, or maybe 5 minutes.
We categorically reject these attempts to mislead public opinion and undermine diplomatic efforts at this sensitive time
I love my cabinet members and I think they are good, but I may make some changes
We see what is happening in Lebanon after the ceasefire, where shelling is still ongoing
We cannot wait to reach a perfect agreement, and we hope to reach a good agreement
We should not hear the voices of extremists who want to hijack the negotiation process
Yes .. I trust him
Whoever possesses explosives outside legitimacy and wants to subject the judiciary to his will is not practicing resistance but disputing the Lebanese over their state.
We do not want a state that begs the militia to respect its judiciary, but a state that imposes on it submission to its law.
When Hezbollah transforms from a party that is supposed to be subject to the law into a party that dictates to the judiciary what is permissible and what is not, we are facing an occupation authority over the state's decision from within.
We are imposing the greatest blockade in military history, and nothing passes through the Strait of Hormuz without our approval
I believe Russia and Ukraine want, for the first time, to reach a settlement to end the war
We are dealing with Iran now and it strongly wants to reach an agreement
We are currently dealing with the Iranians and we will see how things go
They will not be arrested, not today, nor after a year, nor after a hundred years.
The states that signed the statement all orbit the United States; they demand practical steps on the issue of Hezbollah's weapons and reject the argument that this could lead to a civil war, in contrast to the understanding that France was leading, namely that the state, through the army, is unable to go further on this issue against Hezbollah, which would lead to an internal explosion.
The Lebanese authorities' continued disregard of these repeated interventions and dealing with them as if they were normal and customary is rejected and fully condemned.
It expresses the peak of baseness and insolence, given the blatant audacity it entails in interfering in the finest details of Lebanon's internal affairs, with no regard for Lebanon's sovereignty, the independence of its judiciary, diplomatic norms, or the dignity of the Lebanese people, reaching the point of interfering in determining their national choices and imposing political orientations on them.
The repeated detonation operations carried out by the Israeli army in villages of southern Lebanon, including areas that previously suffered widespread destruction, aim to erase these villages almost completely and make the return of their residents extremely difficult, to the point of near impossibility, even if military operations end and new security arrangements are reached.
The war on the southern Lebanon front has not actually ended, despite the ceasefire and the reduction in the level of military operations.
