Even heating with firewood, which was the poor man's last refuge, has become impossible, as the applicable laws and regulations require a citizen who wants to collect firewood from his land or from the woods to obtain a permit from the Ministry of Agriculture and an approval from the Ministry of Environment.

The town is subjected to daily shelling and lies at the heart of the confrontation; there is no commercial or agricultural activity in it, and no source of livelihood for its people. Its residents held firm, were displaced and returned to their destroyed and damaged homes, waiting for their state to stand by their side.

Supporting every family staying and holding firm in the town and the neighbouring villages on the contact line with diesel fuel, at a minimum of one 200-litre barrel per family, and as quickly as possible before the severe cold intensifies, for 200 litres of diesel is not merely a substance; it is warmth for a child, dignity for an elderly person, steadfastness for a family, and a message from the Lebanese state to its people telling them: you are not alone, we all trust in your wisdom.

We want an investigation that identifies those responsible, those involved, and the purpose of transporting this shipment to the southern suburbs and the possibility of its use. If Hezbollah's involvement is proven, the state and judiciary must quickly take deterrent legal measures against the party, arrest the leaders and elements involved, and ban all its activities, including political activity. The state project is being tested, and the security of the Lebanese is in great danger.

My sincerest condolences to our people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. May countries stand as one man with the Kingdom, and not be content with verbal support, for that is the least that is required.

My sincere condolences to our people in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. May countries stand as one man with the Kingdom, and not suffice with verbal support, for that is stating the obvious.

In 2005, the explosives truck was not stopped, and the result was the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. We will not ask about the destination of explosives transported by Hezbollah elements; the more likely scenario is a wave of assassinations as between 2004 and 2008. Delaying the implementation of decisions and law enforcement is what constitutes a danger to civil peace. The state must immediately begin dismantling Hezbollah's military and security structure before we all pay the price of terrorism again.

Only returning to the Islamabad agreements, with their development, spares the region complete ruin that major oil companies and arms companies would benefit from, and any bet on outside support is an illusion and fantasy.
