Representative Ashraf Rifi confirmed that the electoral results in the United States or Israel will not be able to turn back the clock or revive the equations that caused Lebanon’s destruction, warning in a letter he addressed to the concerned parties at home and abroad against relying on such bets.
Rifi categorically rejected any efforts to re-impose foreign guardianship over the country, stressing that the Lebanese defending the sovereignty of their homeland refuse to accept a homeland robbed of its will or subject to Iranian influence, adding: “We, the sovereign Lebanese, will not accept to live and raise our children in a homeland robbed of sovereignty, subject to Iranian will or any foreign guardianship.”
He explained that the Lebanese are the decision-makers in determining their fate, their way of life and their convictions, refusing to be treated as “subjects” in any regional project or to allow any party to impose its choices on them.
Regarding the national partnership file, Rifi stressed that it is based exclusively on equality, respect for the constitution, the exclusivity of weapons, and the decision is in the hands of the state, stressing that “there is no partnership under arms, threats, or guardianship.”
Rifi concluded by emphasizing that Lebanon has paid heavy prices as a result of past experiences, refusing to reproduce them in any way, and once again adhering to the sovereignty of the state and the independence of its national decision, stressing that “Lebanon is the homeland of all of us, no arena of influence for anyone, and this is our firm position that cannot be compromised or retreated from.”
