TEHRAN – The newly appointed US envoy said on Friday that Lebanese authorities hope to ensure Hezbollah is not part of the new government in any form, the Associated Press reported Friday. .
After a meeting with Lebanon President Joseph Aung, Morgan Ortags, the deputy envoy of the United States of America in the Middle East, said at a press conference: He has pledged to ensure that Hezbollah is not in any way part of the new government. ”
She said, “We set a clear red line from the US that they (Hezbollah) would not terrorize the people of Lebanese, and that it would be part of the government.”
This shocking interference in the process of forming a government in Lebanon by the Lebanese Trump administration is disgusting and unstable.
The Trump administration will push Lebanon in an unconventional manner if that embarrassment intervention is translated into reality. The Lebanese people had eliminated their hopes at the end of a long-standing political deadlock and the presidential vacuum, but such statements by Ortagus are dangerously counterproductive.
The Lebanese will elect Army Chief Joseph Orn as the country’s new president on January 10th, and on January 13th, Lebanese President Nawaf Salam, the International Court of Justice, will form the Prime Minister as the government. It was encouraging when he designated him as prime minister. In this positive event, Ortagus suddenly came to Lebanon, and Hezbollah said:
Either Ortagus and her boss of the State Department are ignorant of Lebanon’s religious, social and political structures or live in a fantasy world. It appears Ortagus and her boss are in the wrong job. They are stupid so stupid that Hezbollah and Shiites are generally an inseparable part of Lebanese society.
The Lebanese people are well aware that it is impossible for both the public and officials to run the country without the involvement of a Shia population loyal to Hezbollah. It is impossible to have a prosperous Lebanon without involving all groups.
Furthermore, involving Hezbollah in government is anti-democratic and violates what the US claims.
Both President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam recognize that ignoring Shiites is merely an illusion.
For this reason, the Lebanese presidency stated in a statement from X: . ”
So the Shia duo were allowed to select four members of the new Cabinet, including Finance Minister Yasin Jaber on Saturday, with a nod to the fifth.
Power sharing is now considered a principle in the world of politics. How is it possible to reject the Shiite share, which accounts for about 31% of the country’s population?
With the exception of a few extremist politicians or minority groups, the Lebanese parliamentary bloc believes it cannot rule out Shiites, including Hezbollah.
Ortagus has made Lebanon uneasy through her unmeasured, unrealistic remarks. Seeing Ahmad Kabalan, Shiite clergy and stubborn Hezbollah Ali, Sheikh Ahmad Kabalan, said “Hezbollah is the national and representative power of Lebanon.”
According to the Associated Press, Qabalan added: “Sovereignty belongs to Lebanon and its country components, and to the United States and its exclusive and destructive projects.” He asserted that “the duo-free governments across the country (Hezbollah and the Amal Movement, both Shia political parties) have pushed the country into the unknown.”
At her press conference, Ortagus also supported Israeli attacks on Lebanon without taking into account the feelings of the Lebanese people. Within Lebanon, she said offensively, “We are grateful to our allies, Israel, for defeating Hezbollah.”
All Lebanese, with the exception of rebellious people and politicians, hate Israel. Their memories are filled with the brutal wars of occupation in their own country and other fellow Arab countries. But Ortagus is foolish enough to understand the Lebanese feelings about Israel.
