عباس عراقجيوزير الخارجية الإيرانيyesterday · lebanon debate
The delay in implementing the government’s decisions, dealing with the file with excessive sensitivity, laxity in enforcing the law on the ground, and the failure to provide the necessary political cover for the security forces to implement the decisions. All these factors allowed this group, which is outside the law according to the government’s decisions, to persist, retain a surplus of power, and openly challenge the state. But the problem is not in the strength of Hezbollah or the forces of defiance as much as it is in the weakness of the state itself, which is still unable to impose its authority and implement its decisions on everyone.

Any mistake regarding the resistance is tantamount to a declaration of an existential war on Lebanon and its sovereignty in favor of terrorist Israel, and a mistake in this area is tantamount to crushing and burning every inch of Lebanon.

Yes, the shipment of explosive materials seized by the authorities last week belongs to Hezbollah. Since the car was stopped, Hezbollah has been in contact with the security and judicial agencies and informed them that the car and its cargo belong to the resistance. We demanded the immediate release of the detainees and the recovery of the car and what is inside it, because it is “capabilities” that Hezbollah uses against Israel. We call on the authorities to immediately release the detainees, recover the car and its contents, and retract all these measures, because this resistance will defend the rights of its people and its capabilities with which it confronts the Israeli enemy, and will not tolerate any targeting by any party implementing American demands against our resistance.

What is meant by areas of security sensitivity?

These are questions for the Lebanese government, from which clarification is awaited on the reality of these understandings, if they exist, and the extent to which they are consistent with the principle of the state's exclusive security authority and the rule of law over all Lebanese territory without exception
غسان حاصبانينائب ونائب رئيس مجلس الوزراء السابقyesterday · MTV Lebanon
Have there become areas in Lebanon that security forces cannot enter or raid except after prior coordination with a partisan party?
غسان حاصبانينائب ونائب رئيس مجلس الوزراء السابقyesterday · MTV Lebanon
Here a fundamental question arises: What is meant by security-sensitive areas? Who defines them? What is the nature of the agreed mechanism, and who approved it?
غسان حاصبانينائب ونائب رئيس مجلس الوزراء السابقyesterday · MTV Lebanon

What happened yesterday was not a motorcycle rally, but a rehearsal for May 7, through hundreds of organized elements who closed the entrances to Beirut, in a repetition of the scene of the black shirts and the toppling of Saad Hariri's government in 2011, or of the events of May 7, 2008. Protecting Beirut and its people is the responsibility of the Lebanese Army and the security forces, and any leniency will take the country into a dangerous deterioration wanted by Hezbollah, and behind it Iran, at this stage
