Hezbollah Parliamentary Bloc Voices Political Openness, Says Halting Israeli Attacks Priority
Hezbollah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc voiced on Thursday adherence to national dialogue and political openness in dealing with local Lebanese affairs, stressing that ending the Israeli aggression is a priority. In a statement on the eve of Eid Al-Adha, the Hezbollah's bloc affirmed commitment to 'the discourse of understanding on the Lebanese national interests.' It underlined the importance of ending the Israeli occupation of the Lebanese territories, halting the ongoing aggression and violations, releasing prisoners, and seriously launching the efforts of reconstruction. As it voiced openness to cooperate with the heads of the country's constitutional authorities and the political powers, the Loyalty to Resistance bloc stressed importance of 'adopting positive and responsible approaches to deal with controversial issues.' Such issues 'cannot be addressed by challenging and relying on external forces,' the statement added. Meanwhile, the bloc thanked 'all countries that have shown a serious willingness to contribute to the reconstruction' efforts. On the other hand, the bloc denounced as 'unjust' the hike in fuel prices decided by the Lebanese government last week, saying that the decision 'will impose heavy burdens that neither citizens nor the agricultural and industrial production sectors can bear.' Earlier on Wednesday, the Loyalty to Resistance bloc paid a visit to Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in the Grand Serail.

Hezbollah MP Slams Lebanese Ministers: Implementation of Gov't Obligations Can't Be Selective
Member of Hezbollah's Loyalty to Resistance MP Hasan Fadlallah slammed some ministers in the Lebanese government, noting that their remarks contradict with the ministerial statement. In an address during a local ceremony in the southern town of Zawtar Al-Sharqiya, MP Fadlallah said 'some positions we hear from members of the government aimed at evading the responsibilities they have committed to before the Lebanese people.' In this context, MP Fadlallah stressed that such responsibilities 'are the commitments on the basis of which the Lebanese government won the Parliament's confidence. 'Some of the government's members act as if the implementation of these obligations is a selective process based on what they desire, or on what is imposed on them by foreign powers' external dictates.' He explained that the ministerial statement stipulated that the Government is committed to reconstruction, defending the border and its people as well as taking all measures in order to liberate the land. 'Has the government implemented its commitments regarding reconstruction and the other two issues?' MP Fadlallah wondered. The Hezbollah lawmaker, meanwhile, called on these ministers to 'implement their commitments first.' 'We have nothing more to give, to anyone, in any way, whether in South Lebanon, or in any region. We have fulfilled our obligations at all levels.' 'The current government is obligated, according to the Constitution and legal text, to implement the provisions of the ministerial statement. We have nothing else to say. When they implement these provisions, we will talk about other matters.' Fadlallah remarks come as the Israeli enemy goes ahead with attacks on Lebanon, in violation of the ceasefire that ended the 66-day Israeli war. A Lebanese citizen was martyred at dawn on Saturday in an Israeli drone strike on his vehicle in the southern town of Deir Al-Zahrani.
