MP Ali Hassan Khalil responds to Morgan Ortagus: This is Lebanon's issue and that is their opinion
MP Ali Hassan Khalil emphasized the need for Israel to withdraw from occupied Lebanese territories and to halt its ongoing violations of Lebanese sovereignty. Speaking to LBCI, Khalil said the Lebanese state bears responsibility for raising its voice before the countries of the ceasefire committee. Responding to comments by U.S. Deputy Envoy to the Middle East Morgan Ortagus, who urged Lebanon to expedite the disarmament, he stated, "This is Lebanon's issue. That is their opinion, and we follow the will of the Lebanese people. The dialogue is internal and Lebanese." He also criticized the Lebanese government for failing to launch a reconstruction plan, stressing that the country cannot be stabilized without stability in the south, which he said is closely linked to rebuilding efforts.

MP Ali Hassan Khalil calls for unified government stance on Lebanon's land liberation commitment
MP Ali Hassan Khalil confirmed the government's commitment to its ministerial statement regarding the work on liberating the land. He noted that this requires, first and foremost, a unified stance within the Cabinet on this responsibility and that political differences within the Cabinet should not lead to divisions in the national vision. He said, "We are clearly committed to implementing U.N. Resolution 1701, and the party violating the agreement and all its annexes is Israel. It is Israel that violates, attacks, occupies, and undermines international will." He emphasized the need to pay attention to this issue and stated that "we must not give Israel any justification through political discourse based on narrow or sectarian calculations." Khalil stressed that the common language among all members of the government and its ministers must be rooted in national commitment to the responsibility of liberation by all means, as outlined in the ministerial statement. He viewed Lebanon as being in a decisive stage, parallel to what is happening in the region, and this situation calls for a new approach to both internal and external challenges.
