Both Amal and Hezbullahw were also accepting, as they mentioned they will wait and see action and won't judge or react.

Aoun said that:

- If a component [sect or party] is broken, Lebanon as a whole will be broken.

- The Lebanese state and people are responsible for bearing the burden of the conflict with Israel

- We must send positive messages abroad that Lebanon is capable of governing itself, implementing reconstruction transparently, and building a state that we all call for

- "Being a son of the South, I refused to accept congratulations out of respect for the souls of the martyrs who fell as a result of the Israeli aggression, and I believe in what Imam Musa al-Sadr said that Lebanon "cannot be smiling while its South is in pain or crying"

🇱🇧 Additionally today, PM-designate Nawaf Salam gave a short speech that included:

- I thank everyone for the trust they have given me in these difficult circumstances to serve Lebanon.

- It is time to start a new chapter rooted in justice, security and opportunity.

- The most prominent challenge we face today is confronting the consequences of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.

Reconstruction is not just a promise, but a commitment.

- The government I will form will have to develop an integrated program to build a modern and productive economy that provides job opportunities for the rising generations.

- The basis of political reforms is to work simultaneously to implement the Taif Agreement and fill its gaps.

This can only be achieved through extensive administrative decentralization.

- We will work with to do justice to the victims of the Beirut Port and their families.

- I do not exclude or isolate others, but rather one a person people of unity and national partnership, and the hands are extended for rescue, reform and reconstruction.

📍How did the Lebanese independent and Nationalist MPs react to being asked about the Israeli drones over Beirut?

Mark Daou on the Israeli drones flying on the night of the presidential election:
They are filming the Lebanese people happy, with smiling faces.


He's talking about the same drones that killed and contributes in the murder of thousands of Lebanese Shia a mere month ago!

How is this acceptable? How can they joke about an armed drone over the capital by an enemy army like this!?

🇱🇧 To make the situation worse, the head of communication of the Lebanese Forces party openly said that he is thankful Hezbullah's support for didn't stop before the October war, else Hezbullah's loses would have been less!

During this war 4,000 Lebanese were killed and 20,000 injured. During this war the Lebanese border villages were destroyed.

He's openly celebrating the results of the Israeli war. This is who they are, yet they wants us to trust them?
🤬74👍17🫡12👎5
🇱🇧 Similarly, the mutt, Jordanian Palestinian but made Lebanese Wadah Sadeq openly attacked Hezbullah and Amal and stated they do not represent Lebanese Shia.

In light of the elections, he either is trying to imply he rejects the evidence of the elections or Shia are sheep who don't know how or what to vote for.

نبقى الأقوى، بإيماننا، بمقاومتنا، بعقيدتنا، بصبرنا، بصمودنا، بإرادتنا، بسيادتنا، بشموخنا، بشهدائنا، بجرحانا، بجمهورنا، بكبارنا، بصغارنا، بأصواتنا، بموقفنا، بعنادنا... أُصِبنا بجراحٍ لو أصابت أعتى الجيوش لأسقطته، لكننا لم نسقط، ولن نسقط، لو اجتمع الكون كلّه، نُسقِطُه ولا نسقط
