Hezbollah: No One Can Disarm the Resistance
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Al-Masirah via Mehr News Agency, Mahmoud Qomati stated that Lebanon’s government decision to monopolize arms represents a coup against the national consensus for which heavy sacrifices were made.
in an exclusive interview with Al-Masirah TV network, qomati added that the national consensus focused on Lebanon’s priorities: stopping military aggression by the Israeli regime, expelling enemy forces from Lebanese territory, securing prisoner releases, and beginning reconstruction. However, demands by the government to pay a higher price to the enemy and surrender weapons are unacceptable.
He asserted that Lebanese cabinet members have succumbed to pressure from Arab princes who finance them. They also obey U.S. dictates. It is disgraceful and brazen for Lebanon’s government to convene sessions merely to approve a U.S.-proposed plan.
Addressing Lebanese government officials directly, he said: “What you have done is a stain of shame upon you. You are trampled beneath America’s feet and then appeal back to it.”
Qomati also stressed: “We will not implement this decision; for us it is indeed just ink on paper with no meaning whatsoever. No one in this world can enforce this measure or force us to abandon our weapons.” He affirmed their intent to defend their arms and resistance through all legitimate and peaceful means.
The deputy head of Hezbollah’s political council concluded by emphasizing that they will not aim their weapons inside Lebanon nor engage in any internal conflict-neither with the army nor any other Lebanese party. The people who have made every sacrifice remain committed firmly to their arms and refuse surrendering them.
