The head of Lebanon’s Loyalty too the Resistance bloc in parliament sharply criticized the Lebanese government’s U.S.-backed decision against the resistance’s weapons, stating: Surrendering arms is equivalent to suicide-we do not want to kill ourselves.
according to the English section of webangah News Agency, quoting Mehr News Agency, Mohammad Raad, head of lebanon’s Loyalty to the Resistance bloc in parliament, told Al-Manar that the decision to disarm is rushed and imposed by foreign parties, not a sovereign choice. He described it as a violation of Lebanon’s National Pact and said those who made this decision admit they acted under pressure.
He added that this risky decision endangers Lebanese sovereignty and creates conditions for enemies to destabilize internal security. from 1982 until 2025, resistance weapons have protected Lebanon, freed its territory, established deterrence balances, and thwarted enemy expansionist plans. Saying “surrender your weapons” is like surrendering one’s honor. “Surrendering arms is equivalent to suicide-we do not want to kill ourselves,” he stated.
Mohammad Raad emphasized that anyone who surrenders thier weapon surrenders their dignity. Addressing army personnel directly, he questioned whether they would hand over their arms-which symbolize honor and dignity-and warned that handing over weapons amounts to suicide. “Who can guarantee protection of the contry if weapons are surrendered?”
Raad insisted that these arms are legitimate and lawful; for 33 years they have been recognized as such-how can they suddenly become illegal? The enemy has capacity for territorial expansion but lacks ability to counter resistance effectively. He affirmed support for state monopoly on arms only when it protects Lebanon from occupiers and maintains its defense. american envoys and regional allies played key roles in passing this disarmament resolution. Washington and Tel Aviv insist on timelines for implementation because time does not favor them.
He noted American guarantees were requested before enforcing this resolution but none were provided.
Raad called this resolution problematic as it risks turning Lebanese-Israeli conflict into internal strife.
He rejected claims that resistance weapons did not protect Lebanon as falsehoods. Handing over these arms would mimic unethical conduct seen by enemies in Gaza; perpetrators of such crimes will be held accountable.
the politician stressed the resistance’s commitment to internal stability but expressed concern about lack of guarantees amid government actions.
“We support peace and stability,” he said,”but after this government decree we cannot ensure its consequences or continuation. This is a dangerous decision-how can we guarantee its outcomes?”
Mohammad Raad added that Hezbollah will decide whether or not it remains part of the government following these developments.
He criticized any funds spent on reconstruction after weapon surrender as suspicious and invalidated any aid from those responsible for spilling Lebanese blood.
Mohammad Raad also highlighted his strong ties with Nabih Berri, speaker of parliament dismissing rumors about discord between Hezbollah and Berri as illusions.
The bloc leader explained that acceptance of ceasefire was based on proof from onset showing Israeli forces unable to penetrate Lebanese territory; ceasefire was established out of respect for partners involved in negotiations.
Pointing at current tensions in southern Lebanon, Bekaa Valley, and Dahieh suburb near Beirut, he warned recent decisions have opened “the path toward Karbala,” alluding metaphorically to impending hardship or sacrifice – suggesting those behind these choices acted either ignorantly or irresponsibly with grave mistakes inviting tough consequences ahead.
Treating former Prime Minister Nawaf Salam as inexperienced early into his role needing better understanding among citizens., Raad mentioned internal governmental problems aggravated by direct interference from U.S envoys alongside regional actors influencing Cabinet decisions strongly affecting national policies
.
the Loyalty Bloc decided ministers should resume participating; however insistence remained on reviewing Barak document under pressure rather than consensus meetings reflecting parliamentary discord currently underway within Cabinet deliberations.”
