Speaking at a municipal function in the southern Lebanese village of Qantara, the MP indicated that any eventual Israeli pull-out shall never minimize in any way Hezbollah's anti-Israeli role including the resistance’s essential necessity.
He accused Israel of criminality in that "Zionists" were not fully honoring UNSCR 1701 and that Hezbollah would duly continue to punish Israel particularly because Shebaa farms and Kfarshouba hilltops were still occupied.
The MP expressed skepticism over an eventual withdrawal accusing Israelis of “lying”. Fayyad also hinted that there were "occult dossiers" other than Ghajar which prompted constant party rethinking of the situation.
Loyalty to the Resistance bloc leader MP Mohammad Raad said on Sunday that the Israeli decision does not restore sovereignty to Lebanese land, adding that sovereignty will be restored when the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) can enter the liberated land.
“Withdrawing from the northern part, handing control to UNIFIL, preventing the LAF from entering and keeping civilians’ matters under the control of Israel is not a withdrawal. It is deception and collusion with the UN in order to tell the international [community] that the Israelis withdrew from Lebanese territories,” the National News Agency (NNA) quoted Raad as saying.
The Resistance holds onto its right of restoring and liberating the Kfar Shouba Hills and Shebaa Farms, Raad added.
“Those obstructing a cabinet session from convening are the ones who do not want to finalize the ‘false witnesses’ issue and move from one country to another. The [false witnesses] matter must be finalized…They are responsible for not performing duties pertaining to issues that affect the country’s security and stability,” the MP also said.
Khalil told reporters Saturday after meeting Change and reform MP Michel Aoun that "the resistance and its weapons are still a national need to liberate remaining occupied Lebanese territories especially Chebaa Farms and Kfar Chouba Hills."
On Wednesday, Israeli ministers voted in favor of withdrawing troops from the northern part of the village of Ghajar, which is located on the occupied Palestinian border with Lebanon, and placing the area under UN control.
But Hezbollah condemned the decision, saying it is an attempt to evade the international legal system.
Ghajar was occupied by the Israeli army during the Six-Day War of 1967. Israeli occupation troops left the northern part in 2000, when the UN affirmed Lebanon's territorial rights over the area, but they reoccupied the northern part of the village during the 2006 war.
