Fadlallah lauds Arab League chief, says Christian border towns committed to Lebanon

Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah on Monday lauded the Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy for his condemnation of Israel's demolition of a residential neighborhood in the southern Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil. Fadlallah contrasted this with the "suspicious silence" of Lebanese authorities, who he accused of granting legitimacy to Israel's continued presence and aggressive practices.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese authorities maintain a suspicious silence, after having granted the occupation legitimacy for its continued presence and aggressive practices, and preventing its legal prosecution through their ill-fated agreement.

Fadlallah further claimed that Lebanese authorities "do not dare respond" to statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He specifically cited Netanyahu's assertions that Christian border villages wish to be annexed by Israel. Fadlallah warned that this statement exposed Netanyahu's "true intentions" for Lebanon.

These villages, like the Muslim villages, are committed to their belonging to the ultimate homeland for all its citizens and are an integral part of the national and social fabric of the South.

"These villages, like the Muslim villages, are committed to their belonging to the ultimate homeland for all its citizens and are an integral part of the national and social fabric of the South," Fadlallah stressed. He concluded by stating that Israel and its collaborators would eventually leave, having no role in the country's future.

“

As for the occupation and its collaborators, they will leave, and they will have no role in the future of our country.
