Rajji says Hezbollah, including political wing, 'illegal and destabilizing'
Minister of Foreign Affairs Youssef Rajji said Hezbollah is a military organization and there is no difference between its political and its military wings.
In an interview with the French news channel LCI, Rajji said that "distinguishing between the political and military wings of Hezbollah is completely unrealistic."
"The party is a single, integrated entity that represents an illegal military organization on Lebanese territory, and is nothing but an armed wing of Iran, used to destabilize the entire Middle East region."
Rajji accused Hezbollah of "dragging Lebanon into a quagmire", adding that the military option has proven to be ineffective. Rajji lauded President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam's "courageous" move to open the door to direct negotiations with Israel, with the aim of reaching a ceasefire and enabling nearly one million displaced people to return to their homes.
The Lebanese minister said he dreams of peace, but first and foremost Israel must withdraw from southern Lebanon and cease its aggression, which, alongside fighters, has killed many innocent civilians. "One must dream of peace, and after that, we will see."

Can Rajji dream of an Israel that is not based on brutality? Does he dream that once Israel has occupied Gaza (again) and the West Bank, it will declare the millennium (Revelations, Chapter 20)? Oh, it will have to kill off the one million Palestinian Israelis. Then it will be ready for stability? It will then turn its attention to bad Jews.

I dream of peace, the right of return of all Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and everywhere, equal rights for all in “Israel” or whatever its people wants to call it,one person one vote, Democratic majority rule…no more Apartheid, colonial civilian settlements then there will be peace. I dream all worthless puppets like him who are paid by America (Actually Israeli occupied America) are immediately removed from their position after the American Empire collapses and no more Zionism or worthless collaborators like him who is panicking. Then there will not be a need for HA or any resistance groups. I’m 67 years old and first time in my life I see the future is brighter in the Levant after the demise of genocidal Israel.

Why do people like him even speak to try to look like they matter to the west. They have no followers and their words are meaningless. No Lebanese government will do anything to help ISRAHELL because no Lebanese wants to die for Israhell. Even Americans no longer want to die for IsraHELL and are sick of ISRAHELL.
