/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

It's unfortunately entirely the fault of the Lebanese gov't which has put all its allegiance in the French (former colonial masters) and U.S. (current colonial masters) as though these were neutral third parties and not the allies/enforcers of "israel." The top level of the Lebanese gov't, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam & President Joseph Aoun, are traitors of the highest degree. The Lebanese Army, whether they like it or not, are armed and paid for by the U.S., and are forbidden from defending against "israel" by the Lebanese gov't. It is an unbelievably cucked, shameful situation because "israel" regularly massacres members of the Lebanese Army, who never return fire.

The equipment given to the Lebanese Army by the U.S., of course, is purposefully kept inadequate - but even so, was the Army not forbidden from defending the country from its most constant attacker, the Army could be of assistance to Hezbollah. Men with boulders & machine guns once defeated the Italian Fascists in a battle in Ethiopia - the Lebanese Army, despite its inferior equipment, doesn't have to be useless, yet it is made that way by active design. And that the Lebanese gov't prefers this to a situation where Lebanon could repel air attacks just illustrates theclevel of treason at play.

Unfortunately, there are some in Lebanon who are genuinely so stupid that they fall for the imperialist propaganda and choose factionalism over self-defense. There was recently a politician from the Lebanese Forces party, an offshoot of the Christian Falange, who was, along with his wife, murdered at his apartment by a targeted IOF strike. To show you how cucked some of these idiots are, there were people at his funeral saying "we've had it up to here with Israel & Hezbollah!" But Hezbollah aren't the ones who killed your guy, folks

Update on the situation from yesterday.

What people have to remember is that Lebanon had a 15-year civil war from 1975 to 1990. It's not a state held together by its tradition of diversity like Syria, it's a state wracked by sectarian hostility that stems back to a dysfunctional sectarian government apparatus imposed by the French in the early 20th century.

MP Hassan Fadlallah to Al Mayadeen: Yesterday, there was an attempt by the US Secretary of State to promote a new formula - no bombing the suburbs in exchange for no bombing the north - without committing to a comprehensive ceasefire. This was rejected, and a new development occurred in light of Iran's position to intervene.

We have been informed by the President of the Republic that President Trump contacted the Lebanese ambassador and requested a halt to the mutual attacks as a prelude to a comprehensive ceasefire. This matter is being followed up and communication with the President of the Republic on this issue is ongoing.

We will not accept a return to the situation before March 2nd.

Statement issued by Hezbollah regarding the criminal zionist aggression against the Lebanese Army:

The cowardly criminal aggression carried out by the zionist enemy against a military vehicle belonging to our national army, resulting in the martyrdom of two officers and a soldier, is an intentional, flagrant crime added to the crimes it commits against our Lebanese people, especially in the South and the Western Bekaa. It is a natural result of the authorities' disregard for the country's sovereignty and the blood of its people, and its free concessions—the latest of which was its complete surrender to the enemy's conditions in Washington—which encouraged it to violate the blood of our people and our army.

As we extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the army martyrs and to the military institution, its leadership, officers, and personnel, we condemn this sinful aggression and renew our support for our national army.

Statement issued by Hezbollah regarding the Iranian missile response to the zionist entity:

The Iranian missile response to the zionist entity in defense of our Lebanese people is a message of moral, political, and field-level commitment from the Islamic Republic toward Lebanon, after this enemy, with full cover from the American administration, persisted in committing its crimes against our country and resumed targeting the Southern Suburb, within the framework of its continuous violations of the ceasefire agreement, confirming its disregard for all international agreements. Therefore, the Iranian response came to emphasize that the interest of the stability of the region and its states is to exert every possible effort to safeguard agreements and ensure that the zionist enemy adheres to them before anyone else. This is the message that Iran wanted to send clearly and forcefully to all those concerned with efforts to support stability in our region.

It coincided with the appreciated support from the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen within the framework of joint action to deter the zionist entity and make the American administration understand that its support for the zionist aggression on our country will topple all the agreements it seeks, especially in light of the Islamic Republic's insistence on including a comprehensive ceasefire on all fronts, especially in Lebanon, in any agreement with it, as a prelude to imposing the withdrawal of the enemy from our Lebanese land, the return of the displaced, reconstruction, and the release of prisoners.

This Iranian support for our legitimate rights and bearing its material and political costs confirms once again that Iran is the one supporting Lebanon, not the other way around, based on its principles and human values, and the depth of the historical relationship between the Lebanese and Iranian peoples. Iran has always wanted good for our country and has contributed to supporting its resistance to liberate its land and in reconstructing what the zionist aggression destroyed. Its honorable stance alongside Lebanon deserves gratitude from its authorities, not denial and deliberate insults in response to external dictates. All voices driven by those dictates will not affect the credibility of this courageous Iranian stance and the rare loyalty in a time when interests are prioritized over principles. The false accusations issued by some authority figures against the honorable role of Iran, which seeks to stop the zionist aggression on Lebanon, are completely rejected because they contradict the truth and are against the interest of Lebanon. The unjust attack on Iran, including the joint statement with the enemy and the American administration against it, is outside all rules of diplomatic relations, is an unacceptable and condemned alignment, and served only the zionist enemy.

We call on the Lebanese authorities to seize the available opportunity and correct their official relationship with the Islamic Republic in a way that serves the interests of both countries, and to benefit from this Iranian support to achieve our national goals, especially in light of the formation of the new regional umbrella emerging from the Islamabad negotiations. Thereby, the state in Lebanon, through indirect negotiations with the enemy and relying on that umbrella, the factors of strength formed by the resistance, the solidity and steadfastness of the popular stance, and internal understandings, will be able to achieve our people's demands to liberate its land, return the displaced, reconstruct, and preserve national sovereignty.

>>496834
We, in Hezbollah, and in the name of our people, the families of our martyrs, those who are steadfast, the displaced, and in the name of every free and honorable person in our homeland, highly appreciate this loyalty from Iran and salute the courage of this noble stance of the Guardian Jurist, the President of the Republic, the government, the parliament, the army, the Revolutionary Guard, and the people of Iran for their witnessable stand alongside our legitimate rights and our national cause. These are the rights that we will continue to defend through our heroic resistance until they are achieved, no matter how great the sacrifices, so that our people may remain on their land living with pride, dignity, and freedom.

Hamza Hammoud drove his motorcycle from Beirut to southern Lebanon, crossed the Lebanese border into northern occupied Palestine, and confronted the IOF before being martyred on Tuesday, armed only with his personal rifle.

￭ Hamza’s operation shattered the illusion of the IOF’s control of occupied southern Lebanon. The Jerusalem Post “the penetration itself into Israeli territory at a time when the [IOF] nominally has said it has full control of southern Lebanon was a major embarrassment for the military.”

￭ Even the IOF’s Chief of Staff began conducting a personal investigation into the “unprecedented” operation that dealt a further psychological blow to the northern settlements.

￭ But while the security and military aspects of the story are significant, what Hamza did was much greater than these elements alone.

🚨BREAKING: The US-Proxy Regime In Lebanon Had Banned Fibre Optic Cables From Entering The Country, In An Attempt To Help Israel’s Advance

Hezbollah’s successful use of FPV drones against the invading Israeli occupation army has notably held back their advance & inflicted retaliatory casualties.

The Lebanese regime, which is currently engaged in direct negotiations with Israel, are now attempting to prevent the fibre optic cables the FPV drones use from reaching Hezbollah. An open attempt to aid the Israelis as the death toll in Lebanon nears 4,000.

However, the move will not actually stop fibre optic cables from entering Lebanon. Some have even labelled the move a humiliation ritual.

🟡🟢 Hezbollah:
—
It has become clear and certain that the rounds of direct negotiations to which the Lebanese authority delegation was driven to Washington, only to nod and stamp the dictates written by the US administration, confiscate Lebanon's sovereignty and shift its political position to the side of those reconciling with the "israeli" occupation and its illegitimate entity.
There is absolutely no hope for any good to result from these reconciliation negotiations, because their premise is wrong and suspicious, and their goal is submission and surrender.
We in Hezbollah condemn once again the approach of direct negotiations with the "israeli" enemy, its rounds, and what results from them. We condemn their obstructive function, which constitutes an obstacle in the face of the enemy's project, the efforts of the resistance field, and the great sacrifices of our great people, which the authority could have capitalized on and used these cards of strength to achieve a full and unconditional withdrawal from our Lebanese land.
We consider that continuing to attend direct negotiation sessions is the implementation of the order of the day issued by the US administration to the Lebanese authority, which complies unilaterally and in isolation, in violation of the charter, the constitution, and the laws, and responds to what America and "israel" are working towards in increasing the dangers to Lebanon, its stability, its independence, and its sovereignty.

After advancing in Majidiya Ain Arab, during the 5th “ceasefire” in only months, they seized a group of Lebanese civilians.

Leaked draft reveals Lebanon recognizes Israel, commits to disarming Lebanese resistance as condition for Israeli withdrawal under US-backed framework
——
A leaked draft of the US-backed framework agreement obtained by Al-Jadeed outlines a sweeping roadmap toward normalization between Lebanon and Israel, despite Israel's continued military attacks and occupation of parts of southern Lebanon.

The text states that both governments recognize each other's right to exist in "peace," declare their intention to formally end the state of war, pursue direct bilateral negotiations under US mediation, establish permanent channels of direct communication, and begin drafting a comprehensive peace and security agreement. It also commits both sides to refraining from hostile political and legal actions against one another in international forums.

The draft further commits the Lebanese state to restoring its monopoly over the use of force by disarming all non-state armed groups, dismantling their military infrastructure, and gradually deploying the Lebanese Armed Forces into agreed "pilot areas" before Israeli occupation forces carry out a phased redeployment. The process would be verified with US support and backed by an additional security annex. The text also reaffirms that only the Lebanese state has the authority to decide questions of war and peace, while Israel claims it has no territorial ambitions in Lebanon and says its occupation will end once non-state armed groups are fully disarmed. The agreement concludes by thanking the United States and President Donald Trump for their leadership in advancing what it a path toward "lasting peace."

While military correspondent Alon Ben David confirmed that "this was the Israeli goal from the beginning."

https://x.com/FORTRESSMAXXING/status/2070629492477906998
It seems there is a triple entente brewing against Hezbollah.

First you got Israel, of course.

Then, there's naturally also the Lebanese Government, which is intent on a deal on disarming Hezbollah North of the Litani, while giving Israel the South; a more extreme version of the 2024 "ceasefire."

On the other hand, Jolani is lining up troops on the border, around four staging areas, despite "denying" he will intervene in Lebanon. Likely to move against the Shias of the Beqaa Valley, and possibly also territorial ambitions, like with Tripoli.

The most likely date of his intervention would be when another one-sided ceasefire is finalized in Lebanon. That was the last time he made his move, against the then-Assad government - 24 hours after the Lebanese "ceasefire" of November 2024 came into effect.

The Hezbollah MP in the Lebanese Parliament, Hassan Fadlallah, to Al-Mayadeen:

- Netanyahu should not rush to give good news to the settlers, and the Lebanese authorities will not be able to enforce the implementation of the agreement signed in Washington unless there is a civil war with American support

- The fundamental factor is the field, and we own the field and we are the people of the land, and we will hold on to our weapons even more

- Iran's position is clear, and it will not sign any agreement before the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon

- Direct negotiations with the Israeli enemy violate Article 52 of the Lebanese Constitution, and no one has the right to cancel the state of hostility towards "Israel".

- I say to Netanyahu, you have agreed with those who do not rule over a single inch of Lebanese land, and with those who do not have decision-making power.

- The state of hostility towards "Israel" will continue, and anyone who shakes hands with the Israeli enemy is a partner in his crimes.

🟡🟢 Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem:
—
Statement by the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, regarding the framework agreement between the Lebanese authority and the "israeli" enemy entity:

1- Where is the integrity of the Lebanese authority and its responsibility towards its people and protecting the sovereignty of Lebanon, which the American guardian did not grant a ceasefire? When it received it from the Pakistan talks between America and Iran in April 2026, it rejected it, which caused the "israeli" enemy to commit the Black Wednesday crime, in which it killed and wounded hundreds, terrorized people, and caused destruction with one hundred airstrikes across Lebanon, starting from the capital, Beirut?

2- We told the authority that direct negotiations are purely free concessions to "israel", because they are meetings that impose submission to the demands of the aggression and the "israeli"-American dictates in their entirety. You go to them while in hostility and disagreement with more than half of the Lebanese people, and contrary to the constitution and laws that consider the "israeli" entity an enemy and judicially prosecute those who deal with it in word or deed. You do not have any paper of strength with which to compete because you voluntarily abandoned the power of the resistance and the people, and stabbed the resistance in the back by considering it outside the law in the heart of the war and from the very first moment, with the government's fateful decision on March 2… all to serve the "israeli" aggressive project. Playing with words and interpreting them in other than their meaning is useless; the results are the measure. This is a violation of Lebanon's sovereignty, according to the assessment of both friend and foe.

3- The Iranian-American memorandum of understanding came and placed the cessation of the war on Lebanon as the first item. When the "israeli" enemy refused to comply, Iran halted the agreement and continued to close the Strait of Hormuz until America pressured and forced the "israeli" enemy to cease fire. It was stated in the first paragraph of the memorandum of understanding: "The United States and Iran and their allies in the ongoing war, through the signing of this memorandum of understanding, declare an immediate and permanent cessation of military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, and pledge from now on not to initiate any war or any military operation against one another, and to refrain from the threat of using force or using it against one another, and to guarantee the safety of Lebanon's territory and its sovereignty." Negotiation and reaching the final agreement should take place within sixty days according to the third item of the memorandum.

The authority rejected it once again until the wise and those involved in the memorandum of understanding made it understand that the firing would stop, which you were unable to achieve, and that Lebanon's interest lies in that, and that negotiations for "israeli" withdrawal are in Lebanon's hands and no one negotiates on its behalf. This is the gift of honor, dignity, and strength from Iran of steadfastness and pride to Lebanon, its people, and its resistance. The memorandum of understanding guarantees "the safety of Lebanon's territory and its sovereignty," and sovereignty is achieved by the complete "israeli" withdrawal by agreement within sixty days. This is a card of strength in Lebanon's hand that it could not have dreamed of. Yet, the authority gives up in the "framework agreement" the cards of strength in the memorandum of understanding, and the power of the resistance, its steadfastness, and the sacrifices of this great Lebanese people, and gives "israel" for free what it wants.

4- What is this horrific fall? What is this great sin of abandoning sovereignty to the "israeli" enemy? Netanyahu allows the empowerment of the Lebanese army in two experimental zones! The enemy monitors its deployment and the disarmament steps, and the tripartite committee follows the enemy's requests. The experimental time period in the two zones may last for months, and no other experiment will be moved to without a certificate of good conduct from the "israeli" enemy, and the implementation of what "israel" failed to do in the field! As Netanyahu said: "israel" will remain in the security belt until Hezbollah is disarmed in Lebanon, and the residents will not return to the occupation zone."
The authority legitimizes the continued occupation for many long years, and it may reach the point of annexing these lands to the zionist entity! This is an agreement to deprive the Lebanese of returning to their land. What does the "israeli" enemy have to do with our internal affairs in Lebanon? Any agreement must be limited to south of the Litani River and have no connection to any internal Lebanese matter regarding weapons, security, and the future of the country.
Linking "israeli" withdrawal to disarming the resistance from all of Lebanon is a very dangerous proposal that crosses all red lines and makes Lebanon a toy in the hands of the "israeli" enemy!!
Under the pretext of Lebanon's commitment to disarmament so that "israel" withdraws from Lebanon, every piece of weapon anywhere in Lebanon will mean Lebanon's non-compliance! How could it be otherwise when weapons will certainly not be disarmed, and no one has the right to deprive the Lebanese of the right to self-defense and defending the land against the occupier of our land and the killer of our people. The enemy must withdraw because it is an aggressor and an occupier, through an agreement that addresses the root causes, which is what happened on 27/11/2024. Any transgression of this ceiling is a reward for "israel" after the defeat of its project, and a violation of Lebanon's sovereignty.

5- The framework agreement in Washington is a humiliation, a disgrace, and a concession of sovereignty. This agreement is non-existent, and the provisions of the Iranian-American memorandum of understanding must be implemented. We will follow up with all necessary means and international and Arab pressures to ensure the "israeli" enemy adheres to the first clause of the memorandum of understanding, and withdraws from Lebanon.

We say to the Lebanese authorities: It is time for you to retreat from your sins that are destroying Lebanon; this is a virtue that will be credited to you after the offenses. We are ready to cooperate and be together for the sovereignty of Lebanon, the liberation of its land, the expulsion of the "israeli" occupier, the recovery of the prisoners, the return of the people, the reconstruction, the building of the country, and the agreement on a national security strategy.

The ceasefire would not have happened were it not for the great sacrifices of the fighters, their families, and the Lebanese people. We will preserve the trust of the martyrs, the wounded, and the prisoners, and the sacrifices of the people of the land, the Lebanese Army, and the sacrifices of all the bodies and parties that offered martyrs and wounded, and we will continue as a resistance in the field to defeat the occupation. We did not leave the field in the most difficult circumstances and we will not leave it, for this is the good and the salvation.

Elijah Magnier - President Joseph Aoun has reportedly informed the Lebanese Army commander that any officer refusing to implement the Israeli-US framework can resign, including the commander himself. This is not a state authority. It is the use of presidential power to force the army into implementing an arrangement designed by Israel and supervised by Washington.

Hezbollah will not clash with the Lebanese army. The resistance understands that such a confrontation would serve Israel. But the Shia of Lebanon will stand firmly against any attempt to remove or break the army commander for refusing to transform the army into the instrument of an Israeli-American plan.

The real confrontation is not between Hezbollah and the army; it is between Lebanon’s national balance and a presidency prepared to sacrifice it.

International Campaign to Free Lebanese Prisoners:
On 26 June 2026, the Lebanese government and the Zionist entity, under the auspices of the United States, announced the signing of a so-called "framework agreement" that poses an extreme danger to the people, land and future of Lebanon. In reality, this agreement provides only a framework for the surrender of South Lebanon, its people, its villages and its land; normalization with the Zionist entity; attacks against the Lebanese Resistance – the sole source of self-defense for the Lebanese people against ongoing Zionist aggression; submission to United States tutelage and Zionist occupation; relinquishment of the legal, political and natural rights of the Lebanese people; and abandonment of the dozens of Lebanese prisoners currently held in occupation prisons.

As the International Campaign to Free Lebanese Prisoners, we join the Lebanese people, a broad array of political movements, and the Resistance – and the global movement that stands against U.S. imperialism and Zionist colonialism – in expressing our outrage at this dangerous "framework agreement," and our commitment to work for the liberation of Lebanese prisoners and of all Lebanese land from the Zionist occupation entity.
