Hezbollah’s Fadlallah: Autonomy-Lacking Gov’t Prolonging Israeli Aggression at Expense of Civilian Lives

MP Hasan Fadlallah in an interview with Al-Manar (December 25, 2025).

Member of Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc MP Hasan Fadlallah lashed out at those in power in Lebanon, describing the decision to hold direct negotiations with the Israeli enemy as “blatant violation of the National Pact, the Constitution, and Lebanese law.”

In a statement carried by Al-Manar on Saturday, MP Fadlallah warned that such steps risk “manipulating the country’s fate” and deepening internal divisions at a time when Lebanon needs unity to confront ongoing Israeli attacks and preserve civil peace.

The Hezbollah lawmaker argued that “Israel would not secure through negotiations what it failed to achieve on the battlefield,” accusing the Lebanese leadership of lacking autonomy and failing to uphold its responsibilities to protect citizens and national sovereignty.

He added that any decisions undermining coexistence “lack constitutional legitimacy” and would yield “nothing but disappointment and loss.”

MP Fadlallah also slammed the government for failing to seize a favorable international opening, citing Iran’s support for Lebanon and its call for halting hostilities prior to negotiations in Islamabad. He accused authorities of obstructing this effort “for non-Lebanese reasons,” prolonging the conflict at the expense of civilian lives.

Reaffirming support for the resistance, the MP said the Lebanese people remain committed to “steadfastness and resistance to defend their land and rights,” vowing that no pressure or political measures would undermine what he described as its achievements and sacrifices.
