Hezbollah MP lashes out at Foreign Minister Rajji
by Naharnet Newsdesk 20 March 2025, 15:06
Hezbollah MP Ibrahim al-Moussawi on Thursday blasted Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji, who is close to the Lebanese Forces, for 'his insistence to accuse Hezbollah of disavowing the ceasefire agreement with the Israeli enemy.'
'We were hoping from Lebanon's foreign minister to carry out the least extent of his national duties and responsibilities toward the enemy's crimes, through condemning them, reporting them to the international community and asking it to carry out its duty and compel the enemy to implement the ceasefire agreement,' Moussawi said.
'Accusing Hezbollah of disavowing the ceasefire is a very dangerous stance that turns against the national principles and the government's politices and grants the enemy a justification for its attacks and a carte blanche for continuing its crimes,' the lawmaker added.
'Hezbollah is committed to what the Lebanese government committed to under the obligations of Resolution 1701 and the executive measures paper, and it is the least duty of the foreign minister to abide by the president's directions and the policies of the government, which should rectify the statements of this minister seeing as they are distorting facts and harming the national interest,' Moussawi went on to say.
Rajji said Wednesday that 'the conditions are clear: the implementation of Resolution 1701 with all its stipulations and halting military operations, and they are harsh conditions caused by the group that fought the war and was late in acknowledging the need for a ceasefire.'
'The agreement's text is clear and it specifies the groups that are allowed to carry arms, but Hezbollah is disavowing it,' Rajji added.

UNIFIL statement on patrol obstruction Hallusiyat al Tahta
The following is statement issued by UNIFIL: 'This morning, UNIFIL peacekeepers conducting a planned patrol coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) were confronted by a group of individuals in civilian clothing in the vicinity of Hallusiyat al Tahta, in southern Lebanon. The group attempted to obstruct the patrol using aggressive means, including throwing stones at the peacekeepers. One peacekeeper was struck, fortunately, no injuries were reported. In response, UNIFIL personnel employed non-lethal measures to ensure the safety of both the patrol members and those present. The LAF was promptly informed and arrived on the scene shortly thereafter. The situation was quickly brought under control, and the patrol was able to proceed. Freedom of movement is a core requirement for the implementation of UNIFIL's mandate. This includes the ability to operate independently and impartially, as outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 1701. Any restriction on this freedom — while conducting operational activities with or without LAF — constitutes a violation of that resolution. It is unacceptable that UNIFIL peacekeepers continue to be targeted. UNIFIL calls on the Lebanese authorities to take all necessary measures to ensure that its peacekeepers can carry out their duties without obstruction or threat.'
