Hezbollah MP Slams Lebanese Ministers: Implementation of Gov't Obligations Can't Be Selective
In an address during a local ceremony in the southern town of Zawtar Al-Sharqiya, MP Fadlallah said 'some positions we hear from members of the government aimed at evading the responsibilities they have committed to before the Lebanese people.'
In this context, MP Fadlallah stressed that such responsibilities 'are the commitments on the basis of which the Lebanese government won the Parliament's confidence.
'Some of the government's members act as if the implementation of these obligations is a selective process based on what they desire, or on what is imposed on them by foreign powers' external dictates.'
He explained that the ministerial statement stipulated that the Government is committed to reconstruction, defending the border and its people as well as taking all measures in order to liberate the land.
'Has the government implemented its commitments regarding reconstruction and the other two issues?' MP Fadlallah wondered.
The Hezbollah lawmaker, meanwhile, called on these ministers to 'implement their commitments first.'
'We have nothing more to give, to anyone, in any way, whether in South Lebanon, or in any region. We have fulfilled our obligations at all levels.'
'The current government is obligated, according to the Constitution and legal text, to implement the provisions of the ministerial statement. We have nothing else to say. When they implement these provisions, we will talk about other matters.'
Fadlallah remarks come as the Israeli enemy goes ahead with attacks on Lebanon, in violation of the ceasefire that ended the 66-day Israeli war. A Lebanese citizen was martyred at dawn on Saturday in an Israeli drone strike on his vehicle in the southern town of Deir Al-Zahrani.

Israel says it targeted energy infrastructure site used by Houthis near Yemeni capital
The Israeli military said it had targeted an energy infrastructure site that was used by the Iran-aligned Houthis south of the Yemeni capital Sanaa early on Sunday, with Israeli media saying the Haziz power station had been hit. The military said in a statement that the strikes were in response to repeated attacks by the Houthis against Israel, including launching missiles and drones towards its territory. Israeli media reported earlier that the attack on the Haziz power station near the capital was carried out by the Israeli navy. Houthi-run Al Masirah TV said that the power station was hit by an "aggression," knocking some of its generators out of service. It did not indicate the source of the attack. Teams were able to contain a resulting fire, Al Masirah reported, citing the deputy prime minister. At least two explosions were heard earlier in Sanaa, residents said. Reuters

Syrian President says the next struggle is to unify the country through dialogue
Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa said unifying Syria after years of war "must not come through bloodshed and military force," rejecting any prospect of partition and accusing Israel of interfering in the country's south. Speaking in a televised dialogue session with local leaders from Idlib province late Saturday, al-Sharaa said the fall of the former regime marked only "the battle to liberate Syria," and that the next struggle is to unify the country through dialogue and reconciliation. "There are no real risks of division in Syria; such a thing is impossible," al-Sharaa said. He criticized some factions for seeking the backing of regional powers, including Israel, which he accused of fueling tensions in the southern province of Sweida. "Israel is directly intervening in Sweida, trying to weaken the state or manufacture pretexts for interference in the south," he said, referring to demands by some Druze groups for Israeli support. The transitional president also pointed to ongoing talks with Kurdish authorities who control large parts of northeastern Syria. "An agreement will be reached, and we are now discussing mechanisms for its implementation," al-Sharaa noted.

Lebanese Army denies conducting reconnaissance flights over Syria
The Lebanese Army denied, in a statement on Sunday, reports that it conducted reconnaissance flights over Syria to monitor possible military movements at the border. Online information circulating in recent days claimed that 'gangs' threatened to enter Lebanon and kidnap Lebanese soldiers, and reported that the army had flown over Syria to monitor these movements. 'Some media outlets and websites reported that the Lebanese Air Force is violating Syrian airspace in order to monitor military movements on the Syrian side in the border areas, in response to threats from armed Syrian groups to enter Lebanon and carry out security operations there. Army command clarifies that this information is entirely false,' the statement said. 'Military units are monitoring the situation along the border and taking the necessary measures to control and secure it,' noting contacts and coordination with the Syrian authorities 'to follow developments in the situation.' After the rumors about Syrian groups, Gebran Bassil, head of the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM), who has made opposing the new Syrian regime his latest cause, wrote on X that 'Lebanon is surrounded by extremist religious regimes, one wants a 'Greater Israel' and the other a 'Greater Syria.'' 'Our neighbors covet our land and others covet our decisions,' he added, expressing his desire for a 'Greater Lebanon, moderate and diverse.' Reports have circulated regularly, since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, about alleged Syrian ambitions to seize Lebanese territory, but these have been denied. At the end of March, the Lebanese and Syrian defense ministers met in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and agreed to strengthen security and military coordination along their shared border, which is 330 kilometers long, known to be porous, and where various trafficking activities are common. They also signed an agreement in principle to demarcate the border. On April 14, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam traveled to Damascus, where he met the new Syrian president, Ahmad al-Sharaa, to discuss, among other things, border security. In February and March, sporadic clashes took place between clans, reportedly close to Hezbollah, and the new Syrian authorities near border towns.
