Hezbollah commemorated the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Messrs. Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safi al-Din, during a massive celebration held in the southern town of Mazraat Mushrif, in the presence of a member of the “Loyalty to the Resistance” bloc, MP Hassan Ezz al-Din, along with religious scholars, families of martyrs, members of the region’s leadership, and a crowd of figures, events, and people.
During the celebration, MP Hassan Ezz El-Din directed sharp criticism at the political authority, considering it “a ruling, unjust and tyrannical authority that does not understand much about political performance, let alone economic and social performance.” He stressed that “the framework agreement signed by this authority gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a card that he had dreamed of, and legitimized the Zionist entity’s occupation of Lebanon and gave it free rein to do whatever it wanted,” adding that this “confirms the fact that most of those in this authority are conspiring against the resistance.”
Regarding the weapons file, Izz al-Din said, “Linking the disarmament of the resistance to the Israeli withdrawal is neither foolish nor stupid, but rather part of a conspiracy that wants to eliminate this resistance,” stressing that “the resistance’s weapons and our souls are twins, and whoever wants to disarm this weapon must take our souls with it.” He considered that the political authority’s bet was a loser and did not achieve anything. Rather, it harmed national interest, unity and understanding, and sparked division among the Lebanese at a time when the urgent need for reconciliation to confront Israel is evident.
Ezz El-Din stressed that “everyone who bet on the defeat of the resistance lost his bet,” citing what happened at Ali Al-Tahir Heights, where Israel was prevented from occupying it and the resistance fighters held out for three months, considering that “evidence of the stability and presence of the resistance and the spirit of its mujahideen.”
At the conclusion of his speech, Ezzedine referred to what he described as the equations that Iran draws to help Lebanon after placing it on its list of priorities, pointing out that it linked the signing of any memorandum of understanding to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz to the end of the war on Lebanon, stressing that “through this equation we can expel the enemy despite all the criminality and aggression it practices.”
