Head of the Baalbek-Hermel Bloc and Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc MP, Dr. Hussein Al-Haj Hasan, stressed that the Lebanese state must take the lead in confronting Israeli aggression.
This includes enforcing Israeli withdrawal, securing the return of prisoners, spearheading reconstruction, and pressing the international guarantors of the ceasefire agreement to compel the Israeli enemy to implement its terms.
“We want the state’s position to be strong, and we will continue to support it. We are an integral part of the state—within the Cabinet, Parliament, municipalities, local councils, unions, and public institutions. We are deeply rooted in the Lebanese people and national identity, and we take pride in what we have sacrificed for this country. Therefore, we are partners in decision-making and fully open to dialogue, even as others refuse to engage and resort to strange and inflammatory rhetoric,” Hezbollah’s MP Haj Hasan explained.

Continued Occupation and Escalating Violations
Speaking during a memorial ceremony at the Sayyed Al-Mursaleen Complex in Aramoun on Thursday, MP Haj Hasan underlined that Lebanese land remains under occupation, prisoners are still held in Israeli jails, and Israeli attacks continue to target Lebanese territory, civilians, and army personnel.
“Lebanon is still under threat, yet some in the country do not consider this a priority, aligning instead—deliberately or not—with the narratives of those plotting against Lebanon.”
Dr. Haj Hasan criticized the lack of action from the international community, stating, “It is the duty of the government and all state officials to intensify their pressure on the guarantors of the November 27 ceasefire agreement. Lebanon has fulfilled its obligations, while the Zionist enemy and its US backer have not. Washington not only enables but fully partners in this aggression.”
Over 3,000 Violations, Little Response
Hezbollah’s MP questioned the performance of the Quintet Committee overseeing the ceasefire. “What has the committee done in five months? What have they achieved?” he asked.
“Lebanon has endured over 3,000 Israeli violations, in addition to hundreds of martyrs and wounded, widespread destruction, killings, abductions, and the demolition of homes and farmland.”
Call for National Unity
He called on Lebanese political parties to prioritize national interest over political point-scoring. “In a time of national crisis, one would expect a higher sense of patriotism. Yet, not a single statement has been issued by some parties condemning Israeli aggression. Instead, they launch daily attacks on the resistance.”
“We’re not asking them to change their stance toward us,” he said, “but at the very least, they should condemn the Israeli enemy’s repeated assaults. Justifying its aggression only raises doubts about their credibility. Unfortunately, it seems some have taken it upon themselves to weaken Lebanon at any cost—even if it means staying silent in the face of Israeli crimes,” Haj Hasan concluded.
