Ideas and Views
The Zionist Regime's Fear of Its Own Future
In a speech at the 11th Global Conference for Supporting the Resistance, Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid stated: "The fate of the region is not determined by the defeated." He emphasized that the Zionist regime is concerned about its own future and that we must prepare ourselves to determine the region's destiny. He added: "The enemy entered the region through various gateways to create a New Middle East, but our region managed to thwart all enemy plots. We have been victorious in all regional wars." Amin al-Sayyid clarified: "We must continue the path of confrontation with our enemies and remain steadfast."
Electing a President is Lebanon's Priority
Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid, Head of the Political Council of Hezbollah, addressed the issue of electing a president for the country. He added: "Electing a new president is a priority and must take place as soon as possible." This senior Hezbollah official emphasized: "The election of the President of Lebanon must be conducted in parliament with the highest possible number of votes." The Head of Hezbollah's Political Council continued: "No one agrees to the rise of a president who creates tension, and such an individual cannot succeed." He called for genuine and serious dialogue among parliamentary blocs. Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid, Head of Hezbollah's Political Council, stated: "This is the best approach, and perhaps the only path available to us for electing a president; everyone must move in this direction."
Deterrence: The Decisive Weapon of the Resistance Against the Zionist Enemy
Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid, Head of the Political Council of Hezbollah, stated that the resistance's decisive weapon against the Zionist enemy creates deterrence, forcing it to recognize our rights. With this deterrence established, the resistance no longer needs to wage war to achieve the rights and goals of the people of Lebanon. He added: "It suffices for this weapon and our courageous stance to accompany us in political decision-making; we will achieve victory without using weapons." This Hezbollah official emphasized: "Currently, the resistance possesses a tactical and decisive weapon capable of confronting global bullies and arrogant powers. The significance of this weapon is such that the Zionist enemy no longer contemplates war against Lebanon, and we have achieved victory without firing a single bullet." Amin al-Sayyid continued: "Many have tried in the past, and continue to try today, to disarm the resistance. To this end, they formed political blocs and parties at domestic, regional, and international levels. During the 33-Day War, they believed this conflict would mark the end of armed resistance and Hezbollah's existence, but they failed." The Head of Hezbollah's Political Council stated: "One outcome of the 33-Day War was the failure of this scheme. The resistance's victory continues, most recently demonstrated by negotiations to demarcate maritime borders with the Zionist regime, which led to the preservation of Lebanon's oil and gas resources and their exploitation for the benefit of the nation."
Lebanon's Resistance: An Unassailable Resistance
Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid, Head of the Political Council of Hezbollah, referring to the upcoming parliamentary elections in the country, stated: "Elections are akin to a battle, and the Lebanese will once again emerge victorious." According to this report, while criticizing recent remarks by Samir Geagea, leader of the 'Lebanese Forces' party, who described the parliamentary elections as a 'war of political liberation,' he said: "Geagea must be asked: From whom does he wish to liberate Lebanon?" This Hezbollah official reminded: "No one can strike a blow against Lebanon's resistance or its weapons. The USA, the West, and Persian Gulf countries seek to turn Lebanon's parliamentary elections into a war against the resistance and its weapons. However, no one can undermine the resistance or its arsenal."
The People of Lebanon: Victims of the Zionist Regime's Supporters
The Head of the Political Council of Hezbollah emphasized: "The current situation in Lebanon is unimaginable. Undoubtedly, this situation resulted from incorrect financial and economic policies." This Hezbollah official further noted: "Lebanon is a victim of policies, some dating back 30 years. Corrupt criminals within the country plunder public funds and the national treasury, yet they face no accountability." Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid reminded: "The people of Lebanon are victims of those who have collaborated and continue to collaborate with the Zionist regime to bring the country to this stage. The people of Lebanon are victims of those who have plotted and continue to plot against the resistance."
Hezbollah Seeks a Government for the People
The Head of the Political Council of Hezbollah stated in a speech that Hezbollah seeks to form a government for the benefit of the people, not politicians. Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid added: "Hezbollah does not care who is tasked as Prime Minister to form the government; rather, it seeks a government that serves the people, not politicians." The Head of Hezbollah's Political Council, at a ceremony commemorating the anniversary of the July 2006 Victory held at the Imam Khomeini Cultural Center in Baalbek, emphasized: "Hezbollah will exert all efforts to eliminate the humiliation and disgrace suffered by the people and will spare no effort in this regard." He continued: "The resistance's actions during the July War aimed at the destruction of the Zionist regime. Anyone who believes the resistance will abandon its strategic positions is deluded. The magnitude of the resistance's victory in the July War laid the foundation for the Zionist regime's defeat." Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid clarified: "The July Victory caused the occupying regime to question its own future and destiny, expressing clear concern about it[2]."
Al-Quds Day: Uniting the Axis of Resistance
Hojjat al-Islam Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid, a member of the Central Council of Hezbollah, during a ceremony marking Al-Quds Day at the Yarmouk Camp, highlighted the strong cohesion among components of the Axis of Resistance countries regarding the cause of Palestine. He added: "Al-Quds Day is one of the most prominent activities uniting the Axis of Resistance, affirming the significance of Holy Jerusalem in the hearts of the children of Arab and Islamic nations and the free people of the world."
The Era of Fear from Israel and America Has Passed
Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid, at this ceremony commemorating the 45th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, attended by Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Sayyid Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyid (Head of Hezbollah's Political Council), Sheikh Mohammad Yazbek (Head of Hezbollah's Sharia Council), Sayyid Hussein al-Musawi (Deputy Political Secretary-General of Hezbollah), Hussein al-Hajj Hassan (Head of the Baalbek-Hermel Bloc), Ali Mikdad, Ibrahim al-Musawi, Melhem al-Hajiri, and Yanal Saleh (Members of Parliament), Hussein al-Nimr (Responsibility for the Bekaa Region), Dr. Ayman Zaiter (Representative of the Amal Movement), representatives of Lebanese national and ethnic parties, Palestinian groups, and religious and social activists, stated: "It is this Islamic Revolution from which the system of the Islamic Republic emerged—a system that practically overturned the Western-promoted notion, long held, that establishing a political system capable of integrating religious rulings with societal variables was impossible." He said: "Imam Khomeini's statement, "Today Iran, Tomorrow Palestine", was not in vain. Consequently, solidarity with the Palestinian people is immense, as we recognize that the current generation possesses the capacity for struggle and confrontation." Hojjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Amin al-Sayyid stated: "During Al-Aqsa Flood, it became evident that 75 years of efforts to build this security apparatus were undone in a single day. Israelis say their existence is threatened, and today they are waging a battle to restore security. It also became clear that while Israelis possess aircraft for destruction and killing, they lack an army capable of fighting[3]."
