that this proposal would gain consensus between the President of the Republic and the government, and that the Foreign Minister would work to adopt it at the United Nations. Then we would have come a long way toward preserving our south and our country. All of that can only be achieved through internal understandings, because abroad, in my opinion, will not think about our interest as much as we think about it. Therefore, it is better that we define what we want, instead of what the outside wants being imposed on us, especially since we have fears that additional concessions will be imposed on us beyond what we have already offered.
In light of this complete absence, we today made a tour and presented an initiative to the President of the Republic, the Speaker of Parliament and the Prime Minister, stipulating the provision of a commitment and guarantee from the five permanent members of the Security Council, so that they oversee the implementation of the Israeli withdrawal, the return of the displaced and reconstruction. It also includes the disarmament of all illegal weapons present in Lebanon, the handover of the entire southern region to the state, and the deployment of the Lebanese army in it and its assumption of full responsibility, under the sponsorship of the five major countries that are divided between 'two teams', in a way that achieves justice and ensures the implementation of the resolution and guarantees compliance with it.
Always, unfortunately, we wait for a solution from the government, while the government in turn waits for what will happen abroad. But abroad will never be occupied with our concerns or waiting for what it can do to help Lebanon. Therefore, we wished the government would initiate finding solutions to this situation, especially since we have known for a year that we would reach this result.
The resistance does not take permission from the authorities, but it cannot be, as is the case in Lebanon, part of the political authority and intervene in the affairs of other countries.
Responsibility falls on Hezbollah, but the judge must determine the level of accountability.
Referring the explosives file to the Judicial Council or not referring it is the same; what matters is that the judiciary handling the case fulfills its duty to the end.
Those who obstructed the electricity plan are a five-party alliance comprising the Lebanese Forces, the Future Movement, the Marada Movement, the Amal Movement and the Progressive Socialist Party.
The electricity plan is like a daughter to Gebran Bassil and it is natural that he wants it to succeed, but political obstruction is what hindered its implementation.
There is negligence and submission on the part of the Lebanese government to the current Syrian president, as the detainees were requested by name and were taken out.
The Lebanese Forces were among the most opposed to the departure of Syrian displaced persons from Lebanon
We want understanding with the Lebanese Forces, unifying the Christian street in these circumstances, and setting differences aside.
The Lebanese Forces raised the issue of early parliamentary elections to cover the failure of its ministers in the government, while we filed an appeal against the decision to postpone the elections as soon as it was issued.
Walid Jumblatt is at the heart of power and yet criticizes the negotiating track
We gave the Israeli side everything, and with every violation it commits, it claims there is a secret annex that allows it to do so, and we have requested verification of the validity of this matter.
We informed the President of the Republic that there are errors in the negotiation path and that the Lebanese team does not possess a basic priorities paper to rely on in its negotiations
Hezbollah erred in the support wars and must stop that and help the government exit this crisis
We warned against Hezbollah opening a support front or entering a war under any pretext
Trump today cannot act as if he holds a majority in Congress, which has powers that allow it to restrict the president's moves.
Justice may be delayed but it is not lost
The Movement restores Lebanon's message to its place
We proved, through a previous reply from the prime minister and the finance minister, that the funder did not request the cancellation, but rather asked for confirmation of Lebanon's desire to continue the projects, which led to the collapse of the government's draft.
As a continuation of the political misfortune, the government tried to pass a draft law in the joint committees to cancel 3 loans, including the Bisri Dam loan and others, on the pretext that the funding party no longer wished to do so.
Resettlement government
It extended the special exemption mechanism for Syrian students, allowing them to stay in Lebanon and register in Lebanese schools
All Western countries have drawn up plans to return the Syrians to their country
This barrel will harm the entire environment, and will strike the land and the trees. And if the winter comes and these materials travel with the rainwater, we are heading toward a catastrophe.
Why? To protect the environment. You feared for nature, you feared for the tree, you feared for the land. And what did you do? They brought a barrel of toxic materials and placed it in Marj Bisri, and to this day there is no solution.
What did you say and what did you do? A great achievement. You prevented us from building the Bisri Dam, which was capable of preserving water and helping about one million six hundred thousand citizens, and changing the image of the entire region.
