لبنان: مستقبل کی حکومت میں حزب اللہ کی شمولیت امریکہ کیلئے سرخ لکیر ہے امریکی ایلچی مورگن

Senior members of Lebanon’s Muslim Resistance Movement have condemned US envoy Morgan Ortagus’ interference in Lebanon’s political, social and defense affairs and violation of diplomatic principles. Ortagus said after meeting with President Joseph Aoun on Friday that Hezbollah should not be included in Lebanon’s future government and that this is a red line for Washington. Reacting to these comments, the head of Hezbollah’s political wing in the Lebanese parliament, Mohammed Raad, said that the US envoy’s statement was full of hatred and irresponsibility. Raad said in a statement to the media on Friday that he targeted a part of Lebanon that is an integral part of the national agreement. He added that the US diplomat’s comment is an unacceptable interference in Lebanese affairs and an insult to all diplomatic customs and international diplomacy.

Rejecting Ortagus’ claim that Hezbollah was defeated by Israel, the Lebanese MP said the winner is the one who exposed the true image of the aggressor, showing how it commits genocide against civilians, children and women, targets homes and hospitals and destroys entire residential neighborhoods. Raad stressed that Israel’s war on Gaza and Lebanon has exposed the ugly reality of the usurper regime and that the international community can see who truly funds and arms terrorism and displaces people from their lands.

He added that we rely on the resistance of our people, which Lebanon can be proud of to protect its sovereignty. Mahmoud Qamati, deputy head of Hezbollah’s political council, also strongly reacted to the US envoy’s direct intervention in Lebanese politics and said that Ortagus threatened a large segment of the Lebanese people through his statements, emphasizing that the Lebanese have unanimously agreed to include neutral figures in the government to be formed. Qamati said that the US Donald Trump administration is imposing a new dictatorship to rule the world, but it will not be able to impose its plan in the region or prevent Hezbollah from joining the government. He stressed that the US envoy’s statement in the air is extremely arrogant.

The Lebanese presidency said in a statement on X that it had no concerns about the statement issued by the US Deputy Envoy for the Middle East, Morgan Ortagus. In response to Ortagus’ statement, a senior Shiite scholar, Jafari Qabalan, said in a statement that Hezbollah is a national and representative force of Lebanon. Hezbollah has not been defeated and cannot be defeated. There is no power on earth that can eliminate Hezbollah. Sovereignty belongs only to Lebanon and its national components, not to the US and its external and destructive projects. Furthermore, a group of young Hezbollah supporters gathered in front of the Beirut airport building on Friday afternoon to protest the US envoy’s comments. Waving the yellow Hezbollah flag, they burned tires and blocked the road leading to Beirut International Airport. It should be noted that Washington is pressuring senior Lebanese officials not to allow Hezbollah or its allies to nominate the country’s next finance minister.
