Joseph Aoun Aligns with U.S. Against Hezbollah; Resistance on High Alert
mehre News Agency,International Desk: Ali Ahmad,a Lebanese political analyst,spoke at the international conference “Hezbollah Disarmament and Lebanon’s Future,” held at Mehre News Agency with participation from Iranian,Lebanese,and Yemeni experts. He stated that the current Lebanese government believes resistance must end and occupation remain in the country. “The Lebanese government is fully under American influence,” he added, “and Joseph Aoun is trying to pursue all U.S. projects aimed at disarming the resistance.”
Ahmad described the recent Gaza support war involving Hezbollah as intense and brutal. Despite over 18 years of Israeli attempts to infiltrate Hezbollah and repeated warnings from the Tel Aviv regime, Lebanon’s resistance entered this battle but israel failed to achieve its strategic goals. Although Israeli forces killed Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah’s predecessor and senior resistance commanders, they could not destroy Hezbollah or eliminate it in lebanon.
Despite heavy blows inflicted by occupiers on Hezbollah fighters along border areas, they continued fighting steadfastly. Eventually, a ceasefire agreement was reached; however, Israel did not abide by its terms and caused significant destruction across southern Lebanon and south of the Litani River.
Continuing his remarks, ahmad noted that after several months of government activity in Lebanon, a decision to disarm Hezbollah has been made following American and Saudi directives- with Saudi Arabia showing increased commitment to this effort. It has been warned that enforcing this policy could trigger civil war; Riyadh reportedly responded that civil war is less important than disarming Hezbollah. Simultaneously occurring، Tom Barrack، U.S. envoy in Lebanon، aims to advance this project.
According to ahmad، “Hezbollah‘s options are clear: as long as Israeli aggression and expansionism persist on lebanese territory، the Lebanese resistance will under no circumstances lay down its arms.” He affirmed Hezbollah‘s willingness to engage in dialog regarding Lebanon’s defence strategy.
Questions remain about how best to protect Lebanon from threats وand how all available means can be used for its defense۔ Hezbollah insists that protection against Israeli incursions requires strength؛ if there is power-sharing within Lebanon ،a “national defense strategy” can emerge uniting forces under one flag۔ In such a framework ،resistance stands ready to contribute all capabilities toward implementing this strategic defense plan.
Ahmad added، “The U.S. envoy said they cannot guarantee Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese land.” Under thes circumstances、 it is indeed unacceptable for any rational person worldwide لto surrender arms simply as Israelis demand it.
In closing ،the political analyst emphasized أنthat Lebanon’s resistance does not intend ًto grant concessions America or Israel failed لتto secure through warfare thus far.”
If they attempt another military campaign ,resistance remains fully prepared .The only viable path forward for Beirut lies فيin rescinding anti-Hezbollah resolutions وand engaging in dialogue بشأنon realizing effective national defense strategies for لبنانLebanon .
