Beirut's southern suburb will be evacuated if Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel
The continuation of Israeli attacks and the occupation of southern villages and towns makes UNIFIL's presence critically important, and its withdrawal would create a security vacuum and deprive the region of international monitoring of what is happening there.
Our enemies want to attack us these days. Iran's proxies want to launch rockets and carry out attacks. On October 7, there was blindness – and even on September 11, 2001 (the double attack) there was blindness and no one asked President Bush to leave.
In my view, this timing is not suitable for us.
Our enemies want to attack us these days... Iran's arms are seeking to launch rockets and carry out offensive operations.
If Hezbollah joins Iran in attacking Israel, we will annex Nabatieh and the Litani to our security zone.
If Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel, it will receive a strong blow and will lose additional areas in southern Lebanon, specifically the Nabatieh and Litani areas, which will become part of Israel's permanent security zone. The IDF is prepared to carry out the maneuver. Also, the Dahieh neighborhood in Beirut will be evacuated, and military infrastructure there will be targeted, and more than a million Shia in Lebanon will be displaced. Nasrallah destroyed the Shia community in Lebanon until he was assassinated, and it is likely that Naim Qassem will completely destroy it until he is also assassinated, and sent to meet Nasrallah and his successor in the depths of hell.
The two explosions that targeted the gas pipeline linking Sholah and Deir ez-Zor, and the line feeding the Tishreen station near Damascus, are difficult to treat as mere technical failures, especially given their close timing and coincidence with other security incidents
Investigations proved that the gas pipeline in the Sholah area in the Deir ez-Zor countryside was subjected to sabotage using explosives, along with a direct attack targeting the oil pipeline near the Tal Hamis area in Hasakah province
The ball is now in the Israeli court
We are in a battle over the right of the state and the right of the Lebanese to live in peace
Lebanon is not a card in Tehran's calculations
It is an important day for the state of Israel, and an important day also for the city of Jerusalem
The goal of our program is the people and the directly affected person who was displaced from his actual home and does not have an alternative housing
We will make a decision very soon
This is the tenth embassy to be opened in Jerusalem. Since I took office less than two years ago, the number of embassies in Jerusalem has doubled. There will be more, God willing, soon.
The tours of the Syrian chargé d'affaires focus on establishing state-to-state and government-to-government relations, meaning that Syria, through its president Ahmed al-Sharaa and all officials, recognizes that Lebanon is a sovereign country, and we deal on this basis, unlike what used to happen previously.
The movement of the Syrian chargé d'affaires in Lebanon is important and positive and in the interest of both countries, unlike what used to happen previously. More clearly, there are old residues from Hezbollah's incursions into the government and the state, which affected these relations and raised the level of representation to an ambassador, but that will be later when ambassadors are exchanged. Therefore, Lebanon, like Syria, is heading toward an extremely positive relationship, and the Syrian chargé d'affaires in Lebanon has important relations with all Lebanese parties and communicates with everyone.
Relations have become equal between the two states, the two governments and the relevant ministers, unlike during the Assad regime. Thus this relationship has become between two sovereign states, and there is communication at all levels. There will be interaction in the coming days regarding the signing of agreements between the relevant ministers.
Any American adventure will face a response greater in strength than all previous confrontations.
Wait and see what we will do to Iran; we will teach them a lesson and they will never possess a nuclear weapon.
A work meeting on the water situation in Koura district, in the presence of MP Fadi Karam, Director General of the North Lebanon Water Establishment Khaled Obeid and several board members. I presented energy, water and sanitation affairs with a municipal delegation that included: the head of Al-Jdeideh - Al-Bouchrieh - Al-Sad municipality, August Bakhos; the head of Al-Fanar municipality, Michel Salameh; the head of Roumieh municipality, Hanna Zainoun; the head of Ain Saadeh municipality, Maurice Asmar; and the head of Al-Mansourieh municipality, Fouad El-Hajj.
The circumstances resulting from the Israeli attacks and the occupation of southern villages and towns, most of which fall within UNIFIL's area of operations, make the presence of the international forces extremely important, because their withdrawal would create a vacuum with negative repercussions on the security situation in the region, in addition to the absence of any international oversight of what is happening there.
Lebanon is committed to keeping UNIFIL, given the importance of the role it has played since the start of its mission until today, and the sacrifices made by its members, officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers.
To eliminate this entire system, we must topple this regime.
If the opposition wins, it will establish a Palestinian state and withdraw from Lebanon and Gaza, and will not take any action against Iran.
What happened in the West Bank is a miracle (..) The area that was supposed to become a Palestinian state will not become one today, it will not happen, because we will not allow it.
In the next two years we will topple Iran and remove Hezbollah
The villages of the border strip feel that UNIFIL is part of their social fabric. There is more than one question mark over our fate: will the convoys be affected? And who will fill the security void? Even our living conditions will be affected. Of course, they are peacekeepers and their departure will have repercussions.
UNIFIL's departure causes a vacuum. Our fate is unknown. UNIFIL has always been a factor of security reassurance and a source of livelihood.
