Member of Loyalty to Resistance Parliamentary Bloc in Lebanon, Dr. Hasan Fadlallah, Wednesday stressed on the first anniversary of the Pagers massacre, committed by the Zionist enemy against a large number of Lebanese citizens, including youth, women, and children, that ‘the wounded of answering the call’ (the term used to describe the wounded from the massacre) ‘have shown the greatest resilience and readiness to sacrifice.’
“The eyes and hands of our wounded have created a free life for the nation,” MP Fadlallah emphasized.
In a press conference at the Parliament headquarters, MP Fadlallah stressed that ‘the resistance paid the highest price and preserved the nation with blood, handing it over to the Lebanese state as it did in 2000.
“Therefore, the state and its executive arm, the government, are required to take full responsibility and work on implementing what is stated in the ministerial statement.”
MP Fadlallah explained that the government has affirmed its commitment to preserving Lebanon’s sovereignty and right to self-defense, preventing any aggression, and implementing the National Accord Document by taking all necessary measures to liberate the land and extend state authority over all its territory.
“However, the enemy continues its aggression against civilians from the far south to the far Beqaa Valley, still holding prisoners, while the government has done nothing to fulfill its commitments.”
MP Fadlallah pointed out that the enemy is establishing a buffer zone along the border, prohibiting any form of life, questioning the government about what it has done to stop the aggression, return prisoners, and liberate the land.
Hezbollah lawmaker added that ‘the government remains silent about the enemy’s aggression while working to prevent the most important means of protecting Lebanon, namely the resistance.’ He asked, ‘Where is the timeline for arming the army? And where is Lebanon’s right to self-defense?’
Regarding reconstruction efforts, MP Fadlallah stated, “We have not seen any practical measures taken, and the government is deliberately neglecting this file for internal and external reasons, as evidenced by the fact that its budget does not include any allocations for this purpose.”
MP Fadlallah noted, “We have asked the Minister of Finance to reconsider this budget and allocate funds for reconstruction, as the current budget is an attempt to evade the government’s commitments in the ministerial statement.”
“Some members of the government no longer care about breaching their commitments and are violating the constitution and the national document,” MP Fadlallah concluded.
