What they said سمير جعجع ×

May God give you a hundred thousand blessings, but you face very great obligations. The most important thing I want to tell you is that your mission did not end with the elections today; your mission began today.

As much as you are happy today, I want to place a very great responsibility on you. Frankly, society has opened its arms to us.

May God give you a hundred thousand blessings. I remember from our days as students how we were, weeks and months before elections, not sleeping, and I imagine, especially after the results that appeared today, that you too spent many nights without sleep preparing for these elections. So congratulations to you and congratulations to us.

What is required is not a direct military confrontation, but gradual steps to dismantle the party's military and security structure.

The government cannot take a decision considering Hezbollah an illegal organization and then keep in the security agencies, the army, the judiciary, especially the military court, or in public administrations, people close to Hezbollah.

Abandoning diplomatic niceties and adopting a firmer language with the Lebanese state.

The military institution announced about two weeks ago the seizure of 250 kilograms of explosives. Therefore, if the Dahr al-Baydar file is closed with the arrest of only two people, it will be a real scandal.

There is another indicator that must be taken into account: the shipment was headed from the Beqaa to Beirut. If the goal was really to use these weapons against Israel, the car could have taken another road to reach southern Lebanon.

It is not just a dangerous incident, but the most dangerous incident in years, especially since among the seized explosives is C4 material usually used in assassination operations.

The Dahr el-Baidar checkpoint incident is "the most dangerous in years" and the state must take a firm stance

If evil has a round, then right and truth have a thousand rounds

The basic problem is known: Lebanon does not have sufficient production capacity, and existing plants currently provide only about a third of the country's energy needs. This reality is not the result of recent months, but the result of long years of accumulated failure to carry out required investments in production, while billions of dollars were spent on purchasing fuel oil instead of building a sector capable of providing electricity sustainably.

The electricity crisis can no longer tolerate the philosophy of time management, because every day the required decisions are delayed means fewer hours of state electricity, and thus an additional step toward total darkness, a larger bill for generators, and an additional cost on families, institutions and the Lebanese economy.

The crisis in the electricity sector today cannot be reduced to a decrease in supply hours, and it must not be treated as a passing technical problem that can be postponed from one cabinet session to another.

And you are the only ones acting against the will of the people.

And what actually helps the Israeli project is your military and security presence outside the national consensus and the logic of the state, and outside the Arab and international will.

I had hoped, in this delicate circumstance that Lebanon is going through, not to engage in polemics with anyone, but what Sheikh Naim Qassem said yesterday cannot be let pass unnoticed.

Who can explain what kind of state of institutions this is, where the President or the Prime Minister does not take with them the Foreign Minister on their foreign visits, when he is the minister originally concerned with everything related to foreign relations?

We cannot imagine any decent life as long as Hezbollah's weapons remain
