The ‘Tajaddod’ bloc condemned the entanglement of Lebanon in conflicts orchestrated by external forces.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Bloc emphasized Lebanon’s longstanding support for the Palestinian cause while criticizing Hezbollah’s recent statement suggesting that Iran and Syria are not obligated to participate in the conflict, which they view as using Lebanon’s sacrifices for regional leverage.
According to the statement, how can the advocates of the ‘unity of the fronts’ doctrine accept that Lebanon be the only battlefield, while others use it as a tool to strengthen their regional influence? It questions the logic behind Lebanon being left to bear the brunt of conflicts while others utilize it to advance their regional agendas, portraying such actions as detrimental to Lebanon’s national interests and a blind adherence to a resistance ideology detached from Lebanon’s sovereignty.
Expressing dismay at what it views as the government’s complicity in echoing positions favoring Hezbollah over Lebanon’s greater good, the bloc holds the government accountable for relinquishing its responsibilities and national duties. It calls on Caretaker Prime Minister Mikati to assert the executive authority’s role in safeguarding Lebanon’s stability and sovereignty.
