Hizbullah-Affiliated Academic Sadek Al-Naboulsi: Disarming Hizbullah Would Lead to Civil War – Anyone Calling fHizbullah-Affiliated Academic Sadek Al-Naboulsi: Disarming Hizbullah Would Lead to Civil
Hizbullah-affiliated Lebanese academic Sadek Al-Naboulsi categorically rejected Hizbullah's disarmament in a May 29, 2025 interview on Spot Shot (YouTube). He said that disarming Hizbullah would lead to civil war in Lebanon, and asked whether those calling for this are prepared to sacrifice the blood of their children and people for the sake of Israel and America. Al-Naboulsi said that anyone supporting such calls is 'burning' Lebanon and leading it toward a 'holocaust,' insisting that such change would come through bloodshed. He also questioned why there is talk only of disarming Hizbullah and not Israel, which he called an 'illegal, deadly, and barbaric country.' He asked: 'Why do you want to disarm the most noble resistance movement in the region, but you do not say a single word about the need to disarm Israel?'

Hizbullah-Affiliated Lebanese Political Analyst Muhammad Yaqoub: Hizbullah Will Keep Its Weapons As Long As Israel Exists; Just Let Them Try Collecting Our Weapons – Habibi, We Are Not Zelensky
Hizbullah-affiliated Lebanese political analyst Muhammad Yaqoub stated that talk of disarming Hizbullah is "nonsense," in a March 3, 2025 appearance on LebanonOn's Youtube channel. He emphasized that as long as Israel exists, Hizbullah's weapons will remain intact, and no one can take them away. Yaqoub stated that Hizbullah has sacrificed its leaders, including Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, for Lebanon's sake and now, it is expected to surrender its weapons. He further argued that Hizbullah's desire for vengeance against Israel will not die and will be passed down from father to son until Israel is destroyed. He added, 'Let them try to collect [the weapons] in 60 days. Habibi, we are not Zelensky.' Interviewer: "According to reports, the U.S. gave Lebanon 60 days to fully disarm Hizbullah, whether south or north of the Litani River..." Muhammad Yaqoub: "Sixty days or sixty years? What is this nonsense?! Which weapons will be confiscated in 60 days, a year, or two? They can dream on. You talked, at the beginning of the show, and the dream to pray in Jerusalem and in Palestine. No, my dear! As long as Israel exists, and as long as it occupies our lands, these weapons will remain intact and nobody can take them. [...] "The resistance has sacrificed its leaders. Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine were martyred for the sake of this country, and now we are expected to surrender our weapons?! We want to take our vengeance from Israel. This vengeance will not die. It will be passed down from father to son, until Israel is destroyed. [...] "No. Let them try collect [the weapons] in 60 days. Habibi, we are not Zelensky... We are not Zelensky."

Hizbullah-Affiliated Journalist Pierre Abi-Saab: Morgan Ortagus Is Insolent, Stoned, And Clueless – A Stupid Woman Who Stepped All Over Lebanese Sovereignty With Her Stiletto Heels
Pierre Abi-Saab, a journalist at the Hizbullah-affiliated Al-Akhbar newspaper, described President Trump's new Deputy Envoy to the Middle East, Morgan Ortagus, as a "Trump prototype" — insolent, stoned, and clueless — during a February 7, 2025 appearance on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah-Lebanon). He further claimed that Ortagus is even more of a Zionist than Biden's envoy Amos Hochstein. Abi-Saab criticized her role, stating that she is merely the assistant envoy, yet still managed to "step all over" the Lebanese President with her stiletto heels. Pierre Abi-Saab: "America has been protecting the Israeli enemy for a long time. "Hochstein was not less of a Zionist than [Morgan Ortagus]. On the contrary, he had served in the Israeli army, but he knew how to be diplomatic. He was a bit more canny. Now they brought you some stoned woman... You've said it right. She is the Trump prototype – insolent, stoned, and clueless. "She has this cowboy mentality... She is not even the U.S. President's envoy to the Middle East, just his deputy. At the presidential palace, the sacred center of Lebanese sovereignty and democracy, she just says whatever comes to her mind. With her stilettos, she steps all over the President, right from the start. [...] "This stupid woman comes along... I told you, she is the assistant to the envoy of the U.S. President, yet she thinks that with her stilettos, she can step all over our sovereignty and our President."
