Hezbollah, after having offered great sacrifices in defence of its identity and mission to protect Lebanon, including the loss of some of its senior leaders, to the savage treason-aided Israeli aggression, is determined to serve the nation with emphasis on withdrawal of all Zionist occupation forces from the southern borders.

In view of this, it has mobilized all resources for the forthcoming municipal elections in order to ensure the election of deserving candidates for better governance and management of Lebanon.

The elections in Beqa and other parts of the south scheduled in the closing weeks of this month, and in the words of Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Na’eem Qassem:

“Our first and foremost priority is ending the Israeli aggression, Israel’s withdrawal from south Lebanon, and the release of Lebanese detainees held by Israel.”

He said that no other priority precedes this, “without which it is impossible to build a country amidst constant pressure. Stopping Israeli offensives must constantly be at the top of the government’s daily agenda.”

From its very founding over forty years ago, Hezbollah has served the people. The group, which means “Party of God” – a Qur’anic term – through participation in elections, strives to uplift the conditions of the downtrodden people, remove poverty, and seek their advancement.

Hezbollah has always pursued a policy of unity and cooperation between and within rural and urban areas, as well as among all the strata of the society of Lebanon, including Muslims (both Shi’as and Sunnis) Christians (Maronites, Armenians etc.) and Druzes.

These factors warrant the government of Lebanon to be cautious of the insinuations of the enemies of the country calling for disarmament of Hezbollah.

Such a case will only embolden Israel to step up its expansionist designs on Lebanon to the detriment of its people.

Therefore, Hezbollah needs to be strengthened and supported. Only a fully armed Hezbollah is to the benefit of the people of Lebanon and a solid bulwark against the devilish designs of the illegitimate Zionist entity.
