Pressure is increasing demanding the Lebanese government to accelerate the disbursement of compensation and the reconstruction of destroyed homes in the villages and towns of the south, in conjunction with providing the necessary protection and keeping pace with border developments, amid ongoing discussions regarding the future of the work of the international emergency forces “UNIFIL” in the region.
In this context, MP Ali Khreis stressed, during a memorial celebration held by the “Amal” movement and the people of the town of Burj Rahal, three days after the death of the deceased Muhammad Ali Hattoun (Abu Ghaleb) in the town’s Husseiniya, that strengthening the steadfastness of the people of the south requires immediate practical steps, most notably compensating those affected for the total losses to their property and homes, to enable them to return to their normal lives and cling to their land.
Khreis renewed his support for the continuation of the missions of UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon, praising their vital role in monitoring the situation on the border. He considered that the greatest responsibility lies with the Lebanese government to protect the southerners, preserve their dignity, defend their rights, and secure all elements of their steadfastness.
The celebration began with a speech by the organizing official of the “Amal” movement in the town of Burj Rahal, Yassin Ghazal, and concluded with a Husseini condolence council presented by Sheikh Reda Khulaifi for the soul of the deceased, recalling the qualities of patience, loyalty, and adherence to religious and human values.
