Al-Wafa Bloc: Lebanon targeted to prevent it from gaining self-defense capabilities
Beirut - Saba: Member of the Al-Wafa' for the Resistance Bloc (the parliamentary bloc of Hezbollah), MP Ali Fayyad, affirmed that "Lebanon is facing systematic targeting aimed at preventing it from acquiring the ability to defend itself, its people, and its land." This came during a speech he delivered at a commemorative ceremony held by Hezbollah in the town of Meifdoun, honoring the martyr Muhammad Abdul Nabi Rihani from the southern town of Al-Taybeh. The event was attended by figures, activists, families of martyrs, and a crowd of locals. Fayyad pointed out that "some within [Lebanon] insist on playing the role of a Trojan horse," by paving the way for external political and military pressures on Lebanon—through continuously targeting the Resistance and holding it responsible for the current situation—and by rejecting the dialogue path adopted by the government as a framework for internal understanding and addressing core issues related to the country's stability. He noted that this political faction "practices the highest levels of subservience to external forces," ignoring repeated Zionist aggressions against civilians and border villages, as well as the enemy's non-compliance with UN Resolution 1701. He accused them of promoting a justificatory narrative that serves the enemy, pushing for confrontation between the army , the Resistance, exacerbating internal tensions, and deepening divisions—all with the aim of weakening both the government and the Resistance simultaneously. Fayyad added that "Lebanon is the target," clarifying that the ultimate goal of what is happening is "to confiscate Lebanon's sovereign decision-making independence and subject the country to external guardianship in all major issues—from governance to reforms, appointments, and administration." He emphasized that "targeting the Resistance is part of targeting sovereignty, independence, and national dignity," asserting that "both the sovereign, independent state and the Resistance are in the crosshairs." This underscores the necessity of maintaining understanding between the state and the Resistance, as they are "in the same boat." The statement by MP Ali Fayyad comes amid escalating tensions on the ground along Lebanon's southern border with occupied Palestine, as southern villages face continuous bombardment by the Israeli enemy, resulting in significant human and material losses. These developments coincide with ongoing internal divisions over the role of the resistance and the future of its relationship with state institutions, amid increasing international pressure to push Lebanon toward agreements that may compromise its national principles.

Raad strongly condemns Zionist aggression on Lebanon's southern suburbs
Beirut - Saba: The head of the Al-Wafa' al-Muqawama bloc, Mohammad Raad, strongly condemned the Zionist aggression on the southern suburbs of Lebanon. He called on the government to use all available means to stop the Zionist aggression and force it to withdraw from the occupied territories unconditionally. During the Iranian Embassy in Beirut's commemoration of "International Quds Day," Raad emphasized that "the resistance, which agreed to the ceasefire declaration, is committed to it and does not violate it," calling on the state "to fulfill its duty to deter the enemy and force it to stop the aggression and end the occupation by all means at its disposal, instead of just justifying its failure, impotence and betting." "The Resistance strongly condemns today's Zionist aggression against Dahiya and its people, denounces all its improvised and fabricated pretexts, and affirms its commitment to thwart the policies of this enemy and all its attempts to drag Lebanon towards normalization with it," Raad said. Raad advised "whoever is led by his delusion to assume that the resistance has become a thing of the past, and that its triangular equation has ended irreversibly," to "beware of the drunkenness of the temporary authority, as governments usually become a thing of the past, while the equations drawn by the martyrs with their blood and sacrifices are immortalized beyond history." Raad emphasized that "whoever claims in our country that he exclusively owns the decision of war and peace, or (calls) for the exclusive possession of this decision by the state or others, he is ignorant of reality and truth, because the Zionist enemy in our days is the only one who wages war and continues the aggression and occupation. The state alone does not have the ability to defend its country or protect its people, and some in it are marketing defeatism and surrender among citizens, in acquiescence to the enemy's plan and submission to its will, and the government, president and ministers, must harmonize its national discourse, at least at this stage."
