Lebanese revolutionary Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, recently released after 41 years of imprisonment in France, held a press conference in al-Qoubaiyat where he addressed Lebanon’s ongoing challenges, stressing the importance of national unity and resistance.

The freedom fighter stressed the vital need to uphold Lebanon's unity among all its sects, religious groups, and political components, particularly during this challenging phase that both Lebanon and the wider region are going through.

Abdallah added that the Lebanese people, across all their diverse factions, must form a protective shield for the nation's unity, calling on all parties and sects to confront Lebanon's enemies, chief among them what he described as "global Zionism".

He also pointed out that Lebanon, thanks to the blood of its martyrs, is capable of building an army strong enough to confront various threats, stressing that the Lebanese military has among its ranks some of the finest and bravest officers and soldiers. However, he noted that what the army lacks is weapons and that it falls upon the Lebanese people to work toward securing them.

The Lebanese revolutionary concluded his speech in his hometown by declaring, "al-Qoubaiyat stands as a symbol of national unity; its history and heritage bear witness to this truth throughout Lebanon's many struggles."

Georges Abdallah's release was ordered by France on July 17, and he was sent back to Lebanon on July 25, after four decades of detainment under pressure from "Israel" and the United States to keep him shackled. 

Abdallah's release came one day earlier than the original date, a move reportedly intended to prevent Abdallah from receiving a proper popular reception, while the French authorities prevented him from making any public statements before his departure.
