During the traditional Friday sermon, the authority called for ensuring the return of the displaced to their villages after reconstruction, and not to respond to external demands and worry about pleasing them.

The Shiite reference rejected those who sow an atmosphere of hostility towards the Lebanese Resistance and demonize it with repeated lies, empty accusations, and doubts pushed from abroad through false media.

Rather, these attempts will only strengthen the steadfastness and adherence of the Lebanese people to their homeland, army, and resistance, which is the real support to deter aggression, restore the land, enforce the agreements, and ensure a safe life in the villages after reconstruction, he stressed.

As for talking about disarmament, Al-Khatib stressed that it is the language of hostility, not patriotism, and an invitation to the Israeli enemy to continue its aggression.

For the leader, the government’s credibility lies in fulfilling its commitments, not in suspending reconstruction until the Israeli withdrawal.

The Shiite leader called for restoring the prestige of the State by respecting its sovereignty and deterring any foreign transgression.
