Hezbollah MP Fadlallah Says Lebanon Authority Serving Foreign Agenda, Not Lebanon

Member of Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance bloc MP Hassan Fadlallah launched a sweeping attack on Lebanon’s authority, accusing it of advancing a foreign-driven agreement that relinquishes the country’s land, sovereignty, and rights.

Speaking at a memorial service for martyr Mohammad Jaafar Ahmad Nemeh in Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahiyeh) on Tuesday, MP Fadlallah warned the so-called “framework agreement” amounts to “the worst agreement in the history of nations.”

The political authority in Lebanon “neither reassures its people nor seeks to protect them, liberate their land, or defend their sovereignty,” he said, arguing it is “pre-committed to a foreign agenda aimed at weakening and disarming the resistance.”

“Anyone familiar with the law, the constitution, and international agreements who reads the agreement will find it entirely in the enemy’s interest,” the lawmaker added.

“It contains not a single clause, not a single word, that benefits Lebanon.”

MP Fadlallah dismissed claims the deal could secure Israeli withdrawal, saying it “doesn’t even include the word withdrawal,” and branding it “unenforceable and self-destructive.”

He added: “We are facing the worst agreement in the history of nations… a political gift presented to Netanyahu to allow him to evade pressure.”

He further accused the Lebanese authority of undermining state-building, stressing that slogans such as the monopoly of arms are being used “as a commitment to external parties for non-national goals that serve the enemy,” rather than to build “a strong, capable state that reassures all its citizens.”

The Hezbollah lawmaker argued that resistance emerged due to the absence of an effective state capable of defending southern Lebanon, warning that Israeli actions remain expansionist.

“The Israeli aggression was premeditated… to occupy and destroy the area south of the Litani River, expel its inhabitants, and establish settlements,” he said, drawing parallels with Israeli actions in Palestine and other territories.

On regional dynamics, he expressed confidence in Iran’s role, saying Tehran is working to establish “a new equation in the region” that would ultimately lead to “the enemy’s withdrawal from our land, the cessation of aggression, the return of our people, the release of prisoners, and reconstruction.”

Addressing displacement, MP Fadlallah described the humanitarian toll as part of “the pressure and war waged by the Zionist entity,” stressing that Hezbollah is mobilizing all its resources to support affected communities.

“There is no separation between the resistance and the people,” he said. “All of Hezbollah’s resources today are dedicated to this humanitarian and social battle.”

He acknowledged mounting challenges, including “siege, sanctions, and attempts to prevent reconstruction,” but vowed they would not deter efforts to return residents to their villages.

“We will do what is required… so our people can return with their heads held high, and we can rebuild and alleviate the effects of this aggression,” the lawmaker said.
