According to Almanar TVen’s website, the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc confirmed that the state’s first priority is to protect its people, for which it must make every effort and utilize all available options together with ceasefire guarantors, obliging the Monitoring Committee to implement ceasefire measures, condemning the enemy and confronting enemy aggression.
The Hezbollah bloc said in a statement read after the meeting, led by Rep. Hassan Ezzedine, “American efforts to tighten the financial siege on Lebanon in order to prevent reconstruction and extort its people and state are condemned and rejected. Any response to this guardianship is an abdication of sovereignty, a stab at the constitution, a violation of the law and a threat to stability.”
The coalition reiterated its determination to hold elections within the constitutional deadline and called on the government to fulfill its obligation to enforce the law.
