The deputy head of the Supreme Islamic Shiite Council, Sheikh Ali Al-Khatib, called, in a statement, to “build a just and strong state capable of preserving Lebanon’s sovereignty and defending it and the dignity of its sons, and unless this is assured, no one can blame his sons for defending their security and their lives in the face of an occupying enemy.” Its lands are violated and its sovereignty prevents it from benefiting from its oil wealth and its extraction, and it is besieged and starved, and there is no alternative to the resistance that restores our right to us and deters the Israeli enemy from threatening Lebanon and assaulting its sovereignty.
He said: “You assume a state that has dignity that you did not establish and that does not exist without the resistance that Imam Musa al-Sadr was forced to establish following he cried while he was calling for it, so he was given a deaf ear.
He concluded: “We are surprised by this insistence on stripping Lebanon of its power card in this particular circumstance in which it is waging a battle to restore its marine wealth.”
During the organization of the Sidon region of “Hezbollah”, a crowd reception was held in the hall of the scholar Sheikh Abdul Amir Qabalan in the town of Haret Sidon, in commemoration of the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the party and the start of the Islamic resistance and the anniversary of the victory of 2006, Qaouk said: “The American is procrastinating and forfeiting the right of Lebanon and giving the Israeli enemy all Time for studies, exploration and extraction of oil and gas,” noting that “Lebanon was deprived of its right previously as a result of the American position.”
He considered that “the confrontation of the resistance and the imposition of new equations cut the way for American procrastination and put an end to the policy of pleasing embassies at the expense of national interests, wealth and dignity.”
He said: “Lebanon is in the battle of restoring rights and wealth, and in the equation of the resistance, it is a winner and a winner, and the enemy is a loser.” He stressed that “the resistance that ended the stage of procrastination and wasting rights has drawn red lines and prepared for the end of the line and is ready to create equations and restore full rights, as it will be the new victory that the resistance will present to all the Lebanese.”
Regarding the internal benefits, Qaouk affirmed, “Hezbollah, from a position that is keen on the interests of the Lebanese, calls for accelerating the completion of the presidential elections and the formation of a government that bears the responsibilities of alleviating the suffering of the Lebanese and addressing crises.”
He concluded, “Greetings to the resistant Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza, who astonished the world.”
