Hezbollah on Saturday issued a statement criticizing Lebanese authorities for their handling of ongoing Israeli aggression against Lebanon. The resistance movement asserted that claims of achieving gains through direct negotiations and a framework agreement with the "enemy" are disproven by continued occupation, aggression, bloodshed, and destruction of homes.
Hezbollah stated, "The authorities’ claims that their fruitless direct negotiations and the ill-fated framework agreement with the enemy are achieving gains are refuted and rendered meaningless by the continuation of the occupation and aggression, the spilling of Lebanese blood, and the destruction and blowing up of homes." The group added that the release of some Lebanese detainees, while important, cannot justify ignoring ongoing aggression and occupation.
Accusations Against Authorities
Hezbollah accused Lebanese authorities of "shameful insistence on continuing with their misguided choices" that encourage Israeli actions, according to a report by Mehr News Agency (MNA). The group stated that the "Israeli" enemy escalates its aggression through "killing, shelling, destruction, and the systematic demolition and blowing up of homes and villages." Hezbollah added that a recent "terrorist aggression resulted in four martyrs and dozens of wounded, amid complete international silence and blatant U.S. Complicity, and in the total absence of the Lebanese authorities from assuming their responsibilities."
Hezbollah also asserted that this "condemned and ongoing aggression, carried out with full U.S. Partnership, cover, and planning, has no justification other than pressuring and blackmailing the Lebanese authorities to push them into implementing agendas whose objectives have become well known." The group warned that the authorities' "continued pursuit of this absurd, illegitimate, and unconstitutional path gives the enemy cover to continue its aggression." Hezbollah concluded by urging authorities to "reconsider their calculations, stop their obstinacy, and set aside stubbornness and political bickering in the interest of Lebanon and its people."
Israeli Aggression Escalates
Hezbollah stated that the "Israeli" enemy continues to escalate its aggression and crimes against Lebanon through killing, shelling, destruction, and the systematic demolition and blowing up of homes and villages. The group further reported that a recent "terrorist aggression" resulted in four martyrs and dozens of wounded. This aggression is part of ongoing actions Hezbollah attributes to Israel. The resistance movement has consistently noted these developments in its recent communications. The information regarding these events was disseminated under News ID 247463. Hezbollah's statements frequently detail the alleged scope of Israeli military operations within Lebanese territory, emphasizing civilian impact and property damage.
US Complicity Alleged
Hezbollah accused the United States of complicity in the ongoing aggression against Lebanon. The group stated that the "Israeli" enemy's actions, including "killing, shelling, destruction, and the systematic demolition and blowing up of homes and villages," occurred "amid complete international silence and blatant U.S. Complicity." Hezbollah asserted that this "condemned and ongoing aggression, carried out with full U.S. Partnership, cover, and planning," serves to pressure and blackmail Lebanese authorities. According to Hezbollah, the objective is to push these authorities into implementing "agendas whose objectives have become well known." The group warned that the continued pursuit of this "absurd, illegitimate, and unconstitutional path gives the enemy cover to continue its aggression."
Call for National Unity
Hezbollah urged Lebanese authorities to "reconsider their calculations, stop their obstinacy, and set aside stubbornness and political bickering in the interest of Lebanon and its people." The group also called for a return to "shared national constants that protect Lebanon’s sovereignty." In a statement, Hezbollah further appealed to "all Lebanese to stand united behind a unified national position that preserves Lebanon’s strength, resilience, and sovereignty in confronting the 'Israeli' aggression." This call for unity comes amidst Hezbollah's accusations that authorities' "continued pursuit of this absurd, illegitimate, and unconstitutional path gives the enemy cover to continue its aggression, granting it more time to achieve its objectives, impose its conditions, and dictate its demands on Lebanon."
