Hezbollah MP criticizes Lebanese state and foreign and justice ministers

Hezbollah MP Ali Fayyad has lamented that the performance of the Lebanese state over the past year “has not led to any result” in the face of Israel, which is still carrying out deadly strikes and occupying Lebanese territory, calling for a “reevaluation.”

“The Lebanese state is not mobilizing its diplomatic tools and political capabilities and it is not managing its negotiation stance in a way that seriously confronts the hostile Israeli actions,” Fayyad decried.

“How can authorities explain to us this total absence of the Foreign Ministry, seeing as the Lebanese missions abroad are not doing any work. There are no complaints, contacts, statements or pressures that rely on Lebanon’s friendships and international relations. The foreign minister himself is moving in another direction and through his stances and moves he is justifying what the Lebanese are being subjected to,” the lawmaker charged.

“As for the justice minister, his efforts are focused on partisan control of judicial agencies and meeting the foreign campaigns through domestic campaigns aimed at stripping Lebanese citizens of their civil rights, violating the constitutions, laws, norms and rules that protect and regulate these rights,” Fayyad added.
