🟡🟢 Head of the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc, Hezbollah MP Haj Mohammed Raad: — I say: death before handing over the weapons—“they can go and pave the sea.” (Arabic idiom meaning “let them do the impossible”).
To say “hand over your weapons” is to say “hand over your honor.” Handing over the weapons is suicide, and we do not intend to commit suicide.
The issue is not about the weapons, but about dragging Lebanon into reconciliation with "israel."
The Americans and the “israelis” insist on a set timetable to implement what they dictated to the government, because time is not in their favor.
The decision to withdraw weapons exposes the arena to the enemy for tampering with internal stability, and the goal may be to turn it into an internal problem instead of a Lebanese-“israeli” problem.
We support extending the authority of the state and restricting arms to it when it is capable of repelling the occupation, forcing it to withdraw, and protecting the country.
I told those in power: if we hand over weapons, can you guarantee that the “israeli” won’t demand something else? He told me: “We’ll see when the time comes.”
I want security and stability, but under the government’s decision I can guarantee nothing, and it is the one that decided to open the door to internal tension.
We are keen on peace, but after this decision we do not know what guarantee there is for civil peace. The decision is dangerous—how can we guarantee its repercussions?
The master of the martyrs of the nation is a message and a divine blessing, and may God help us fulfill our pledge to him.
Today, we honor the anniversary of the martyrdom of Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi, the Lion of Nablus. We salute a guardian who fearlessly, tirelessly protected our soil and its steadfast people.
This day does not merely mark an end, for while all people die with their last breath, martyrs are born on the day of their sacrifice. Their names resonate, echoing heroism, raising bloodstained rifles that seem to reach Heaven itself.
Having grown up during the second intifada in the embrace of the Old City of Nablus, Mountain of Fire, his resolve was tested early on. He witnessed firsthand the bravery of its people, those who resist until victory or martyrdom. By 15, he was already wanted by the occupation. In 2021, he was the most wanted fighter in the West Bank. He was detained with friends and martyrs Mohammed Al-Dakhil and Adham Mabrouka by the PA and subjected to torture. Even as the PA sought to kidnap him just a month before his martyrdom, Ibrahim's spirit was, as always, unbroken.
Guided by his principles, Ibrahim’s compass never strayed. He survived nine assassination attempts, never abandoning resistance. His sights were set on our eternal capital of Al-Quds, his rifle always directed at the enemy.
Ibrahim embodied our struggle, representing the ideals of the homeland, dedicating himself to his land, people, and religion. His journey left an indelible mark on a nation, and his status as a beacon of defiance shall remain ablaze in the hearts of generations, kindling the flames of resistance amongst the cubs of this great nation, from Nablus to Gaza to the camps in exile and diaspora. Young eyes continue to look up at him, seeing themselves in the Lion's legacy.
Ibrahim gifted us his final testament. His words, profound beyond his 19 years, remind us that perhaps, in the face of such giants, we are the ones who seem small.
"I love my mother." "Take care of the homeland after me." "Do not abandon the rifle."
We honor his memory by upholding his principles, following in his footsteps, and continuing on his path as we resist the enemy in all its forms, in all places.
Mother. Homeland. Rifle. Glory to the Lion of Nablus, Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi.
