Hezbollah MP: Beware of playing with fire with us
MP Ali al-Meqdad of Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance bloc said “Lebanon should be protected by all its components and segments and by its resistance and army, which they want to put today in the face of the resistance.”
“We want this army to keep standing with the resistance and with its people to protect Lebanon,” Meqdad added, during the funeral of a Hezbollah member Alaa Haidar, who was killed in an Israeli drone strike in Kfardan near Baalbek.
"At the moment of your martyrdom, the government meeting at the presidential palace was approving your blood spilling, your targeting and your killing. Unfortunately, during the session, they did not hear that a great martyr and leader had been martyred in the Bekaa Valley. They only listened to American and Israeli dictates,” Meqdad charged
He added that the government’s decision on Hezbollah’s disarmament “will remain ink on paper.”
“I assure you that what happened yesterday in the Council of Ministers is not worth the ink with which it was written," he said.
Meqdad added” "Yesterday, the mother of three martyrs called me and asked me, 'What's going on? Are you selling the blood of the martyrs?' I accept the surrender of the weapons on the condition that you return to me my three martyred sons and the most sacred martyr, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. She wanted to use her impossible condition to tell this government that abandoning the resistance's weapons is impossible, and we stand behind this pure and noble mother.”
He continued, "Don't play with fire with us. We are the first to demand protection and stability for this country.”
“Let what happened remain within its theoretical framework. The families of the martyrs will not allow the resistance to sell the blood of the martyrs, let alone the millions who all support the resistance! Every honorable person who refuses humiliation and degradation in Lebanon is a resistance fighter," Meqdad added.
The government had on Tuesday taken a historic decision to monopolize arms in the hands of the state before the year’s end and on Thursday it approved the objectives of U.S. envoy Tom Barrack’s paper, which focuses on the disarmament of Hezbollah and other armed groups in the country.
The ministers of Hezbollah and the Amal Movement walked out of both sessions in protest.
