Member of Hezbollah Poliburo Mahmoud Qmati called on the Lebanese Government to take act wisely ahead of a cabinet meeting on “monopolizing arms”.
In an interview with Al-Manar on Sunday, Qmati affirmed that the resistance weapons are exclusively to confront foreign threats.
“The Secretary General (Sheikh Naim Qassem) said it clear: This weapon is exclusively against the Israeli enemy. As for the Lebanese local issues, his eminence reassured that this weapon will never be used.”
The Hezbollah official stressed that the right of resistance and defending the homeland is guaranteed by the international laws.
“No one can eradicate us. The resistance is persistent, in accordance with the international law and the national duty.”
“We will see what will happen during the cabinet session. There would be a wise decision, or a fool one. We are monitoring. Hereby, we advise the Government to act wisely in a way that preserve the national interest.”
Qmati meanwhile, highlighted importance of the national unity in face of discord.
The Lebanese Government is to convene on Tuesday, in a session that will discuss arms monopoly.
Lebanon has been subjected to pressure by the US, the major sponsor of the Zionist entity, in a bid to take decisions aimed against Hezbollah, especially regarding disarming the Lebanese resistance group.
In his latest speech last Wednesday (July 30), Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed that Washington wants the disarmament of the Resistance to serve ‘Israel’, rather than to maintain Lebanon’s internal security.
“Every call to surrender arms is a call to relinquish Lebanon’s strength. Arms are not more important than reconstruction and halting the aggression,” Sheikh Qassem said.
The Israeli enemy continues to bomb southern Lebanon almost daily and maintains occupation over five posts along the southern border, in violation of a ceasefire deal reached following a brutal 66-day Israeli war between September and November 2024.

The Zionist occupation has also struck Beirut four times since the ceasefire agreement.
At least 230 Lebanese people have been martyred in the Israeli attacks since the ceasefire took effect on November 27, 2024.
