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.

Will Israel disrupt municipal vote in south Lebanon?

by Naharnet Newsdesk 23 May 2025, 13:13 Conflicting reports have emerged on whether the Lebanese state has obtained U.S. guarantees that Israel would not threaten the safety of the municipal and mayoral polls that will be held Saturday in south Lebanon. LBCI television reported Thursday evening that 'Lebanon has received guarantees from Washington that Israel will not carry out any military action that disrupts the municipal and mayoral elections in the South.' Information obtained by al-Binaa newspaper however clarified that 'the U.S. guarantees received by the Lebanese state are limited to Israel not obstructing the electoral process, which means refraining from targeting civilians and polling stations, but they do not include refraining from staging assassinations against Hezbollah members and officials or striking targets that Israel claim to be Hezbollah posts and rocket launchpads on mountains and in valleys.'
