Hezbollah and national powers in Lebanon voiced firm rejection to schemes aimed at targeting the resistance, stressing that the resistance is the country’s main strength.
In a meeting in Beirut on Monday, representatives of Hezbollah and other national powers called on the Lebanese Government to reverse its decision aimed at disarming the resistance.
The meeting was attended by Deputy Head of Hezbollah’s politburo Mahmoud Qmati, Al-Ittihad (Union) Party Chief MP Hasan Mrad, Head of Syrian Social Nationalist Party (PSNP) Rabih Banat, Head of Al-Murabitoun Movement retired general Mustafa Hamdan, Arab Movement Leader Shaker Al-Berjawi and Leader of the Arab National Guard Assaad Hammoud.
Qmati and Mrad addressed the meeting, in which they stressed that the “resistance is Lebanon’s main strength, alongside the national army and the people.”
They called on the Lebanese Government to “reverse its seditious and explosive decision, which only aims to implement the US-Zionist agenda.”
The speakers also dismissed circulations that the government’s decision on disarming the resistance is aimed against one sect, stressing that the decision “is rather aimed against the entire country with its points of strength.”
They voiced meanwhile complete trust in the Lebanese Army, stressing that the national army won’t stand in confrontation with the people.
Earlier this month, the Lebanese Government approved “objectives” of a US plan to disarm Hezbollah, yielding to US and Israeli pressures.
The cabinet session on August 7 followed another session on August 5, in which the Lebanese Government tasked the Lebanese Army with drafting a plan to confine all weapons to the State by the end of the year.
The Lebanese State has been subjected to unprecedented pressure by the United States, the first sponsor of the Zionist entity, to tackle the issue of disarming Hezbollah.
The Israeli enemy continues to bomb Lebanon, mainly the country’s south, 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.
