“…we want a courageous president who is unafraid, who puts the national interest ahead of its fear, and secondly, more frankly, we want a president who cannot be bought or sold…more than that, I tell you, we don’t want a president who covers the resistance, we don’t want a president who protects the resistance, the resistance in Lebanon doesn’t need a cover and the resistance in Lebanon doesn’t need protection What we want is a president who doesn’t backstab the resistance, don’t conspire against it or sell it out. This is our natural right…” With these words the general secretary of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, specified During his speech on the anniversary of Martyr’s Day On 11-11-2022, the first specifications that the resistance wants for the President of the Republic in Lebanon.
No doubt Lebanon is a country of resistance And if anyone tried to suggest otherwise and tried to raise their voice at times to object to the Israeli enemy’s deterrent weapon, and if anyone tried to criticize the resistance by claiming that it bears responsibility for the current situation in the country, and what is certain is that the Lebanese people, in its majority, are a resistant people who do not accept rapprochement with the Israeli enemy: seven and seven believe that the Zionist entity is their first enemy and do not allow in any way to meet it under any heading.
This is in principle, but in the current reality, those who have foreign agendas and are hostile to the resistance can try to suggest that it is possible to deliver a president of the republic who works against the resistance, which implies working in the interest of the enemy internally preoccupying the resistance sometimes with economic blockade and other times with politics and other times with mobile conflict. Thus, we see some riding the wave of criticism of the resistance and throwing out slogans that are far from reality The weapon of resistance that “Israel” fears Believing he could reach Baabda Palace, and on this point in particular, Sayyed Nasrallah said during his martyr’s day speech, “…when you come and tell me to elect Zayd or Omar, and he is from the beginning of the road discussing with you the resistance and the weapons of the resistance, and in Lebanon there are a thousand files to take care of. And he skipped all the files and came here, which means that we got off to a bad start, guys…”.
There is indeed a figure hostile to the resistance, when it is heard that his name has been mentioned to discuss the presidential elections, he rushes to appear on the screens to intervene on the need to withdraw the weapons of the resistance and how to do it, and bet on some methods of besieging it. These first aim to raise their shares on a personal level and believe they are “serious” names to get to the presidency. And secondly, they are expressing what they dream of withdrawing the weapons of resistance Even if to the detriment of Lebanon’s interests.
And on all this said the expert in strategic affairs, Dr. Ali Diet The “president in Lebanon must be consensual par excellenceAnd he asked: “But it should be in accordance with the red lines that each team draws according to its size, or with glamorous names and addresses, according to what the Saudi ambassador transmits, who appears by all means to succeed the Lebanese among them under various titles and pretexts?”
In an interview with Al-Manar TV website, Hamieh explained that “the resistance and its allies want a nation-level, not a sect-level president, so that he is neither weak nor scared nor bought or sold, nor stab the resistance in the back.” He added: “These demands are from one side that has made sacrifices and given victories to the whole of Lebanon.” While the other side is demanding sovereignty at the level of embassies and submitting to decision-making capitals.”
While Hamiyah called for agreement between the various forces on the name of a new president of the republic, he stressed that “we must work to set deadlines for any imminent maturity, so that any kind of procrastination, As for the presidential election Or something else.” And he added: “We have come to believe that people are tired of waiting, and their pockets have emptied, except for a few. deal for the last elements of the nation’s progress”, and continued, “elect a president of the republic before seeking a scattered homeland.
