- Saydet el-Jabal: Has Mikati Become Hezbollah’s Spokesperson?
The Saydet el-Jabal gathering has expressed its concerns over caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati's recent statements, raising questions about whether he has become a “spokesperson for the Hezbollah militia.”
In a statement released on Monday, the gathering conveyed its worry for Lebanon, stating that Mikati is “linking peace in Lebanon to the cessation of the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip and is thus jeopardizing the security and safety of Lebanese society.” Additionally, it framed this stance as a betrayal by the Prime Minister.
The gathering questioned whether Mikati has inquired about the displaced people from southern Lebanon and how they are managing their livelihoods, given that nearly 100 thousand displaced individuals from southern villages are facing daily brutal Israeli attacks.
Saydet el-Jabal also drew attention to the harsh realities faced by “nearly 100 thousand displaced individuals from southern villages” and expressed broader concerns about a potential war with deadly and destructive consequences.
It asserted that the decision “lies in the hands of Hezbollah and Iran rather than the Lebanese authority.”
The gathering challenged the notion of an Iranian occupation through Hezbollah, asking, “If this is not an Iranian occupation of Lebanon through Hezbollah, then what is occupation?”
Furthermore, the statement emphasized adherence to Lebanon’s constitutional framework, stating that the decision-making power on matters of war and peace should not be vested in an armed militia whose allegiance lies outside the country.
The gathering called on Members of Parliament, especially those affiliated with Hezbollah, to elect a president as a means to address the ongoing challenges.
