Fadlallah: Stable Security Beholden to 'Resistance'

Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc MP Hassan Fadlallah said on Sunday that Lebanon is enjoying a stable security situation because of the protective “umbrella” of the Resistance in its fight against Israel and terrorism, the state-run National News Agency reported on Sunday.

“The country today is in dire crisis at all levels, and the State is in a stage of fatigued constitutional and administrative institutions despite the efforts exerted by the security agencies to keep Lebanon a safe place. That's why the current stable security situation is beholden to the protective umbrella provided by the Resistance through fighting the Israeli enemy during the July 2006 war, and fighting to prevent the takfiri project from stretching out to Syria and Lebanon,” added Fadlallah.

“We need an internal equation that protects political, social, financial and economic stability,” he added.

The MP stressed the need for bold stances to help the country out of its impasse, he said: “In light of the difficult circumstances that our country is witnessing, we need to undertake brave decisions and bold steps.

“What are some Lebanese parties waiting for to help solve the internal Lebanese crisis? Starting with the problem of the presidency and the convention of the parliament. Are they waiting for the U.S elections to end or waiting for the war in Yemen to end?” he asked.

“Why are they constantly telling the Lebanese to let time pass because there is no possibility of a solution at the time being, why don't we take some serious, responsible and national initiatives to address our problems, why are some waiting for solutions to come by plane?” he continued to say.

Fadlallah concluded and warned: “If we leave things for the time factor to solve or bet on the changes (in the region) we would then be increasing the deterioration of the State and destroying its structure which will collapse upon the heads of all.”
