Beirut - Saba:
The head of the Al-Wafa' al-Resistance bloc, MP Mohammad Raad, confirmed on Tuesday that he will cooperate with the Lebanese government headed by Nawaf Salam and give it confidence.
"We will work with the government and our participation in it includes expressing the positions of the people we represent," Raad said during a session to discuss the government's ministerial statement. "We are serious about cooperation and we put our trust in the government.
"The Lebanese have made many sacrifices over the generations in defense of their homeland," he added, noting that "the genocidal war launched by the enemy against Gaza is a war of aggression that is condemned, criminalized and not permitted by law."
"The enemy has not been able to defeat our party or break our people, whom you met on Sunday in the sports city and who came to confirm that they are committed to their resistance option," he said, noting that "while the enemy inflicted many pains on us, we recover quickly, except for one pain that remains with us, which is the martyrdom of our Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and all our martyrs."
Raad emphasized that "despite all the weaponry available to the enemy, the Zionist army has not lived up to the performance of our heroic resistance fighters," calling for "serious consideration of options to address threats and risks within the framework of a comprehensive security strategy."
He continued, "The audience of the resistance is not a pile of people, a number, or an expatriate community in the homeland, but a mine of values that sprout in their depths and souls."
Raad said: "We thank the Republic of Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Iran for what it has done , will continue to do for Lebanon , its people , in support of its issues despite all the prejudice against it and the continued blockade against it," Raad said.
Raad called on the Lebanese government to cancel the decision to ban the landing of Iranian planes in order to avoid submitting to foreign dictates that contradict national sovereignty and to avoid harming the interests of a large part of the Lebanese population.
