Hezbollah MP says US and Israeli election results will not change resistance's position or calculations —— Hezbollah MP Ali Fayyad, a member of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc, affirmed that the results of the Israeli and US elections will not alter the resistance's positions or strategic calculations, particularly regarding its right to defend Lebanon and its people and liberate occupied Lebanese territory. Speaking at a ceremony honoring fallen resistance fighters in the southern Lebanese town of Mays al-Jabal, Fayyad also criticized the Lebanese authorities for their comprehensive failure to protect Lebanese citizens and liberate their land. Addressing the confrontation with Iran, Fayyad said it had exposed significant US and Israeli failures, with repercussions extending to Washington, its allies, and global energy security. He pointed to the cohesion of Iran and its allies and their ability to manage the confrontation despite mounting regional pressures. Fayyad stressed that the outcome of the confrontation has yet to be definitively decided, arguing that establishing a balance of power with Israel requires the steadfastness and resilience of the Lebanese people. He called on the Lebanese authorities to reassess their policies and political calculations, move beyond the current state of stagnation and imbalance, and adopt an approach capable of achieving Lebanon's national objectives.
