Hezbollah: We pledge to remain in position of honor, dignity, and righteousness, to defend our land, our people, and the aspirations of future generations.

Hezbollah: We highly value patience of our steadfast and proud people, who endure oppression and aggression alongside us in the hope of preserving national sovereignty and dignity.

Hezbollah: From this perspective, we address current developments, reaffirming to all that this is the time to unify efforts to halt the Zionist violations, aggression, and escalation against our country

Hezbollah: Legitimate defense does not fall under framework of “decisions of war or peace”; rather, it is exercise of our right to resist an enemy that imposes war upon our land, refuses to cease its assaults, seeking to subdue our state.

Hezbollah: As a founding component of Lebanon, the nation we are committed to as a final homeland for all its children, we reaffirm our legitimate right to resist occupation and aggression.

Hezbollah: Negotiations [with "Israel"] carry no national interest and pose existential risks to Lebanon’s sovereignty and entity.

Hezbollah: Lebanon must not, under any circumstances, yield to aggressive blackmail or be lured into political negotiations with the Zionist enemy.

Hezbollah: With this savage enemy, backed by the American tyrant, there can be no room for maneuver or deceit.

President-elect Trump's policy toward Syria addressed by reporter Dan Boylan

19 Dec 2024 08:25

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Dan Boylan, former general assignment reporter at The Washington Times, shed light on President-elect Donald Trump’s "transactional" power approach to US foreign policy, particularly in Syria. Boylan explained that Trump, as a former president, showed little interest in maintaining a significant US military presence in the region, including Syria. Following the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, Trump reaffirmed his stance through an all-caps tweet that the "United States does not want to get involved. This is not our issue," according to Boylan. He also emphasized that Trump’s perspective prioritizes immediate gains over traditional alliances, which could leave groups like the Kurds marginalized unless they find ways to align with Trump’s mindset. Furthermore, Boylan noted that Trump plans on reshaping the Middle East through powerful regional players, including Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and "Israel".
