The most dangerous statement today… is what came from Lebanon’s Prime Minister, Nawaf Salam

First: He declares that after the withdrawal of UN forces from the south, the government will seek a “replacement,” clearly hinting at American and French forces to deploy and oversee a “demilitarized zone” south of the Litani River! This is a direct call to place the south under a new mandate.

Second: He openly adopts what he calls the “2002 Agreement” for full peace and normalization with the Zionist enemy… as if the blood of martyrs and the sacrifices of the resistance were just a page to be erased.

Third: He speaks of the possibility of opening economic files with the entity after normalization, even if “not soon.” Meaning he is laying the foundations today for tying Lebanon’s economy to the occupation tomorrow.

Fourth: He attacks the resistance’s weapons, claiming they have “failed” and do not deter Israel, ignoring seventeen years of real deterrence between 2006 and 2023, when the enemy did not dare launch an open war thanks to the strength of the resistance.

Fifth: He considers the withdrawal of the occupation from certain points a “necessary step to complete the first phase in the Litani area,” as if the entire project is simply implementing Israeli conditions step by step.

This is not just a political mistake… but a dangerous declaration of intent to drag Lebanon toward normalization, to place the south under American–French guardianship, and to strip the resistance of the weapons that safeguarded this nation.

Today’s battle is not only at the borders… but over Lebanon’s identity and choice: either the axis of resistance, or the axis of American–Israeli dictates.
