They will not cancel us
You do not speak about the displaced except when a crime targets one of your officials, and today you are in the government and we have not heard a word from your foreign minister about displacement on any Arab or international platform.
We demand the government and the president honor what they committed to and are not implementing, because Lebanon's interest and fate are more important than the opposition's conflict with the authority
Our disagreement with Hezbollah is significant over fateful choices, but it does not negate their Lebanese identity or our respect for people's pain and sacrifices
We are an opposition of oversight, accountability and alternatives, not obstruction, gloating and insults, for opposition does not mean hostility to the state but correcting the authority's performance
Wherever we are, in exile or prison or power or opposition, our reference is one: Lebanon, and our concern is protecting Lebanon and preserving its entity.
They targeted Michel Aoun and his people on October 13, then Aoun and his movement on October 17, but we remained and grew stronger and are celebrating the joining of 1,211 new members, 45% of whom are under 35.
We deliberately commemorated the October 13 anniversary on October 17 to affirm that they are two faces of the same coin, with the same partners, and that the target in both cases is us and Lebanon's sovereignty.
No matter how they distort and insult, we remain at the heart of the real revolution, while they conspired against us on the correction of Christian representation and were part of the Ponzi Scheme system, whereas we warned of the financial collapses.
They took part and celebrated the fall of Baabda and sat in the lap of the occupation for their interests; they erred on October 13 and did not learn, then repeated the mistake on October 17.
October 13 was a military operation carried out by the Syrian occupation in cooperation with a certain authority within it and in coordination with the Lebanese Forces militia, and it ended in victory over the Lebanese legitimacy at Baabda Palace, represented by the army.
any attempt to drag his name into facts contrary to their truth
Presenting the judicial facts selectively or out of context, and ignoring the decisions and rulings issued by the competent judicial authorities, cannot change the established legal truth or create a link to facts with which he has no connection
Bassil has no connection to the facts of the judicial file, and there is no relationship linking him to the persons concerned
In both instances, they had humiliation and we had dignity, and so we continued.
Both targeted Baabda Palace, the seat of legitimacy, to undermine the movement of freedom, sovereignty and independence.
We mark the memory of October 13, 1990, and Saturday, October 17, 2026, to link the two dates; the first was military and the second economic.
We are with the exclusivity of weapons in the hands of the state, and the state must carry out this task, not have it imposed on it by another state, especially if that state is aggressing against it.
We say openly that in the end we want peace with Israel, but peace has its conditions.
When they carry out an act in which we see a Lebanese interest, we support it; when they carry out an act in which there is no interest for Lebanon, we do not support it, simply.
The Lebanese, wherever they go, carries with them the message of openness
Which is less costly: importing electricity from plants in Turkey via Syria to Lebanon, or securing it from a Turkish plant aboard a ship off the Lebanese coast?
Therefore, we do not approve of the contents of this agreement, because it has proven, as we feared, that it does not include a timetable for withdrawal, and does not include anything binding on Israel. Israel is the party and the judge in it. It decides what suits it; if it sees that there is a danger that might come to it from some side, even at the level of intentions, it can confront it by carrying out operations on Lebanese territory. This is what is actually happening.
We refuse to go to an agreement like the one reached in the framework agreement. It does not secure any of Lebanon's rights, but makes it waive its right to sue a state before international law that aggresses against it and commits crimes against humanity and war crimes, and makes it waive its sovereignty and the extension of its authority by its own forces on its land, if this matter is necessary for the Israeli side.
We believe Lebanon has no interest in entering wars that are others' wars on its territory, in which Lebanon, its youth and its land are used, and whose results are catastrophic for all Lebanese, not only for Hezbollah and its environment, but for all Lebanese.
When there are people who gave and sacrificed, we have no right to squander their sacrifices
We have the right to compete and aspire, but we do not have the right to destroy when we quarrel
If they are citizens and partners with us in a homeland where we and they live, how can I think of mocking them, their sacrifices or their martyrdom?
Strengthening mental capacity.
Today we enter a new world, the world of artificial intelligence.
