A member of the “Loyalty to the Resistance” bloc, Representative Ali Fayyad, saw that the recent positions of the authority were a correction of the Lebanese negotiating position, hoping that the authority would proceed with the policy of review and correction.
Fayyad said, during the honoring ceremony held by Hezbollah for a group of resistance martyrs in Burj el-Barajneh, that the party “sees in the positions announced by the pillars of the Lebanese authority, specifically Presidents Joseph Aoun and Nawaf Salam, a trend to correct the Lebanese negotiating position, by seeking to formulate a Lebanese position that approaches the Lebanese constants, and drops any reference to illusions of peace with the enemy, in contrast to what those positions emphasized over the past stage.”
He added, “But we believe that this is not enough, and we hope that the authority will proceed with the policy of review and correction, which actually allows building a comprehensive national position.”
Fayyad stressed the need for the authority to pay attention to the importance of “taking into account the two predicaments: the American in its war against Iran, and the Israeli state of dangerous exhaustion in the face of the resistance in the border region, which the enemy expresses as a dangerous strategic ambush,” calling on the Lebanese authority to “deal realistically, away from the logic of arrogance, and to pursue a policy of correcting and strengthening the situation by taking advantage of all auxiliary factors and elements of power, including abandoning absurd negligence.” With resistance, returning to opening channels of communication with Iran, and correcting the mistakes that were committed against it.”
Fayyad pointed out that “the authority has repeatedly announced that it will not negotiate under fire, but it always proceeds to negotiate with the enemy in light of the growing campaigns of killing and destruction practiced by the enemy,” considering that this matter “reveals that the position of the authority is just empty talk with no credibility, and once again the authority is preparing to participate in a round of direct negotiations, while raising the level of participation in the negotiating delegation, in light of the growing Israeli escalation in the south, reaching the targeting of the southern suburbs.”
Fayyad called on the authority again to “adhere to obligating the enemy to a comprehensive and complete ceasefire, and to put an end to the so-called freedom of movement with American cover, and to present this as a precondition for any negotiating interaction, whatever its nature,” stressing at the same time that “Lebanon does not need direct negotiations.”
