📰 A ceasefire draft is reportedly available, and agreed on between Lebanon and Israel. Amos will visit Israel tonight to get their signature.

Ending the war/battle now will give Lebanon and the resistance the breacher it needs and at the same time before Israel had achieved its stated goals.

Sheikh Naim's speech today is likely to inform the people about this matter.

A common Lebanese falsehood is how they define deterrence and ridicule Hezbullah for this war

Detternce ends when a war starts. When it does, there are no more rules or anything that binds the enemy to previous red lines or agreements. It is war.

Hezbullah's deterrence against Israel started to erode on 8-Oct-23 but still ensured the battle stays limited and mutual.

Israel abandoned all deterrence and started the war during the pager attack in Sept-24.

Before that, Hezbullah's resistance that liberated south Lebanon from decades of Israeli occupation and then the 2006 war for the liberation of Lebanese prisoners created an 18 year deterrence in which Lebanon lived in unprecedented security stability.


Judgement of events isn't bkack or white not confined to the immediate present. Judge correctly and not through your hate.

Just situation is not optimal and war is harsh, but we are the ones who are affected by it most and have the clearest clarity about it. Righteousness comes with a price, and judgement day is never too late. #admin

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Meeting with some Israeli army commanders, including AMAN, the war minister Katz announced that any political solution with Lebanon has to stipulate Israel's the preserving of Israel's ability to gather intelligence (drone flights, etc) and freedom of operation to counter threats (attacks wherever they feel a resistance is located at)

🇱🇧 Summary of the speech of Sheikh Naim Qassem:

- A week has passed since the Arbaeen of Sayyed Hachem Safieddine. Sayyed Hachem, you were the right hand and primary support of martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. You were always present on every frontline. You have triumphed, while we are the ones who lost.

- We must also mention the martyrdom of our dear brother, the Chief of Media Relations in Hezbollah, Hajj Mohammad Afif al-Naboulsi, who was martyred in the field of Jihadi Resistance media. He was an icon in the media field. He had strategic insight and filled a significant gap in the media field, where he was keen on holding press conferences, to expose the enemy, highlight the achievements of the Resistance, and respond to the accusations against it.

- The enemy murdered Haj Mohammad Afif, who is a civilian figure and should have been protected [by law]. The enemy aggressed the capital Beirut to kill Haj Mohammad Afif. They shall not think that any aggression on Beirut will go unanswered. When you attack Beirut, it is natural that the response will hit the center of Tel Aviv.

- We thank everyone who offered their condolences and shared our grief, and congratulated us on the martyrdom of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. I also thank everyone who supported the party's step in choosing the new Secretary-General. God-willing, we will continue the path and uphold the trust of the martyrs.

- We had previously agreed to the Biden-Macron proposal on the basis that it could end the war, but the enemy assassinated our Secretary-General.

And it is true, we received a severe blow, and there was a state of confusion in Hezbullah. But within 10 days, we were able to restore our capabilities on every level; military, political, media...

- It is an honor for us to be among the few who supported Gaza, alongside Yemen, Iraq, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, while the world stood by watching more than 45,000 martyrs, along with the wounded, destruction, and displacement. It is true that the blows we received were painful and agonizing, but we have many steadfast cadres of great resilience.

(the above were quotes from Political Aya on X, remaining is from David David on X)

- For 11 months, we were involved in a support battle for Gaza, where we gave what we could to support Gaza.

- The second battle began two months ago, meant to repel the total Israeli aggression against Lebanon. Israel does not need an excuse [to engage] in aggression.

- The last word belongs to the battlefield, and we will build our position upon battlefield accomplishments -- in two parts: on the frontlines, and strikes against the Israeli home front, and we have capabilities to continue at this rate of fire for a long time

- Here is the critical point. What is the solution? We read the ceasefire proposal. We read it well, and have our comments and Nabih Berri has comments, and ours and the Lebanese Government's comments are, God Willing, identical.

We have decided not to discuss these ceasefire proposals or our comments in the media. All I will say is that the Israelis are trying to obtain through negotiations what they couldn't through war -- and this is not going to be possible.

I can't guarantee that these negotiations will lead to a quick ceasefire.

This depends on Israel. But we have two conditions:

1) a total and complete end to the Israeli aggression

2) Absolute Lebanese sovereignty, meaning the Israelis can't violate Lebanon's sovereignty under various excuses
👍77👎23🫡8🤬5
- we are not making the battlefield dependent upon the negotiations. We have one option: enduring and continuing, no matter how long the war lasts.

- We have opted for one of two options -- either victory or martyrdom

- We are confronting Israeli human beasts being backed by American human beasts -- so we have no option but confrontation

- we will remain in the battlefield, no matter the cost -- because the cost of not fighting is higher
👍72👎21🫡13🤬3
- I want to give a special thanks to the Amal Movement. Hezbollah and Amal are one, and I wish this type of national unity for all of Lebanon.

- we have not and will not change our positions on this war.

We believe in the solidarity of the army, people, and resistance.

After the war, together with the State we will

1) rebuild together with outside partners.

2) We will actively help elect a president.

3) We will act under the Taif Agreement in cooperation with other political parties.

4) We will be present in the political field to build and protect Lebanon.

(As in same Hezbullah before the war and after the war)

(below are continuation from Political Aya on X, follow her)

- had anticipated that the operation on the border front would last for 15 days (that the enemy would advance further after that), but it extended in the same area for a longer time due to the Resistance, the valor of the men of might.

- It does not matter if it is said that the enemy entered a certain village; what matters is how many were killed and where the Mujahideen confronted them. Throughout this two-month battle, the result has been the legendary resilience of the Resistance in Lebanon, where over 100 "israeli" soldiers were killed and 1,000 injured.

- The resistance does not operate like conventional armies, and it is not its duty to prevent the enemy's advance but to resist and thwart them wherever they try to advance. In the end, the land is ours, the men are our men, and the enemy will pay the price in the areas it was lured into.

- The field speaks for itself, and the outcomes are determined by what happens on the ground. The Resistance has the capability to fight a long war. "israel" cannot defeat us or impose its terms on us.

(For the remaining, please follow her thread)

The speech is smart as expected from Hezbulah's leadership. We'll see how things actually progress and what actually happenes.

Hezbullah told the Lebanese that they are willing to stop the war, highlighting it's up to Israel to agree and setting the condition of preserving Lebanon's sovereignty.

We all know Israel's conditions that they want to enforce in Lebanon, and Amos was clear when he said "we will continue to work on this ceasefire with the new administration"

Sheikh Naim was clear when he said he didn't expect a fast ceasefire, and we all know well since 8-Oct-23 Hezbullah was clear about its goals. End the war in Gaza and eventually end the war in Lebanon.

It is Israel who decided to go on a Jewish crusade, and Sheikh Naim said two points:

- It is victory or martyrdom. No to accept submission

- Fighting is a cost cheaper than surrending

Finally, he said Hezbullah was in real chaos for 20 days after the assassination of Sayyed Hassan. He said so in all his speeches.

So imagine how difficult the situation was for the resistance, and how the ground invasion started with that shock's effects. Sayyed and all the other leadership.

Surviving this war, but also securing all pre-war conditions is a grand triumph. Costs were high, but I already explained these before. #admin

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Points of ceasefire disagreement between Lebanon and Israel:

-Israel's request for freedom of action in Lebanon. This is the heart of the disagreement. The Lebanese side told Hochstein there's no need to formally anchor this matter in the agreement or accompanying documents, as it's a natural right that Israel would have stemming from international law. Israel, by contrast, in light of the lessons of learned from Resolution 1701's failure, insists on the need for explicitly legally anchoring this matter in the documents.

-Monitoring Body: Lebanon has expressed reservations and concern about the multinational ceasefire monitoring force that will be based in Lebanon and have requested that it be comprised of forces from an Arab country -- in opposition to Israel's position, which wants a Western force comprised of forces from France and Italy. Progress has been made on this point.

-Israeli aerial reconnaissance in Lebanese airspace

-Return of displaced Lebanese to their home. Israel doesn't want to allow this to the border towns easily, because it means a fast full retreat.

-Release of Lebanese detainees. Does Israel want to keep the prisoners? This is major and we all know this will prompt action later to kidnap soldiers and swap them.

PoWs are exchanged far a war. Only in Israel do they disregard all norms

⭕️ Sheikh Naim Qassem:
"Despite the capabilities placed, there are capabilities that are being transferred to the front line and there is rotation of resistance fighters:"the road is clear".. Israel cannot defeat us and impose its conditions on us"

(Hezbullah technically transported ballistic missiles in secret to south Lebanon. Allah inshallah will help them transport men and equipment)

❗️The US is the sole veto vote on a resolution calling for an "immediate, unconditional, and permanent" ceasefire in Gaza, effectively blocking it from passing in the UN Security Council

The US is a partner in Israel's genocide in Gaza and is yet again sabotaging any effort to end the war.
