Press Release
Separating the Lebanon Front from Gaza
A Step Toward Peace with the Occupying Enemy and Normalization!
(Translated)

On October 7, 2024, former U.S. Under Secretary of State David Hale stated on the Vision 2030 program on LBCI: “Now, we have a chance to demand Hezbollah disarm. Since the Taif Agreement, there's been unfinished business. Lebanon should develop a plan and present it to the world, not the other way around.” He added that “Fiddling with the details of Resolution 1701, an old resolution never fully implemented, isn't going to change the security equation.” On the same day, surprising statements emerged, showing alignment between some opposition and pro-government members of parliament in Lebanon, calling for the separation of the Lebanon front from the Gaza front! This came in conjunction with earlier statements from Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri, who mentioned that in his last communication with Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Iran’s Party (Hezbollah), prior to his assassination, Nasrallah expressed no objection to a ceasefire! This is despite the fact that earlier political positions from the Prime Minister, the Speaker of Parliament, and the Foreign Minister indicated that the two fronts were interconnected. Then, on October 8, 2024, Sheikh Naim Qassem, Deputy Secretary-General of Iran’s Party (Hezbollah), stated: "We support the political movement led by President Berri, with its primary goal being a ceasefire." He added, "Once the ceasefire is solidified and diplomacy can achieve it, all other details will be discussed, and decisions will be made in collaboration."

O People of Lebanon in General:

Let none of us forget that the Jewish entity is a hostile, occupying, and spiteful enemy, coveting our land and resources. Since its inception, it has continuously assaulted our lands with Western support, arms, and international cover through resolutions. Today, under the authority of the far-right government led by the criminal Netanyahu, this entity has further drenched itself in the blood of the people of Lebanon and Palestine, committing crimes, killings, displacement, and destruction. All of this is happening because, since its establishment until now, it has not been confronted by a sincere governing system or an army with the power to decide war. So, let none of you think of making peace with it, for it is an enemy that cannot be trusted, and coexistence with it is impossible. No matter what you do, its expansionist projects and ongoing attempts to extend its influence in the region are designed to make it a brutal tool and a policeman serving its Western allies, especially America. Have you forgotten, O people of Lebanon, the late Sharon and his massacres in 1982, when he invaded Lebanon and its capital, falsely claiming that he would not exceed a 30-kilometer boundary, describing it as a quick operation?!

O Muslims in Lebanon, Specifically:

Beware of falling into and clinging to the imaginary borders drawn by the colonial, kufar West, which have brought nothing but division and weakness upon you in Lebanon and the region, leaving you incapable of supporting your families and brothers in Palestine and elsewhere! You are an inseparable part of the global Muslim community. As stated in the Medina Charter, established by the Messenger of Allah (saw), which laid the foundation for your first state and civilization:

«أُمَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ... وَإِنَّ ذِمَّةَ اللهِ وَاحِدَةٌ، يُجِيرُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ، وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ مَوَالِي بَعْضٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ... وَإِنَّ سِلْمَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَاحِدَةٌ، لَا يُسَالَمُ مُؤْمِنٌ دُونَ مُؤْمِنٍ فِي قِتَالٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ.. وَأَنَّكُمْ مَهْمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ مَرَدَّهُ إِلَى اللهِ وَإِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ...»

"One nation (Ummah) to the exclusion of other people... And the protection of Allah is one; the least of them may grant protection on their behalf. And the believers are allies of one another, to the exclusion of other people... And the peace of the believers is one; no believer shall make peace apart from another believer in a fight in the path of Allah... And whatever you disagree on, its resolution is to Allah and to Muhammad..."Thus, you are part of the Ummah of two billion. How much more so with the Muslims closest to you, in general Ash-Sham countries, and especially in the Blessed Land of Palestine?!

O Muslims, O Armies in the Lands of the Muslims, Especially in the Surrounding Countries:

The rulers of Lebanon and the Muslim lands have been installed to rush and follow the West's plans whenever ordered. Their greatest aspiration is to remain in power, even if it is under the bayonets of the occupier and at the cost of your blood and Deen. Therefore, the fundamental solution, which we constantly remind you of until Allah manifests it or we perish for its sake, is to urge your sons in the armies to shake off the dust of waiting and anticipation and move toward the land of Palestine, declaring takbir (Allahu Akbar). If these rulers stand in their way, let them be swept aside, and let them establish a leader who will guide them in the battlefields, behind whom they will fight and seek protection. Then you will witness how the entity of the Jews will collapse, and Allah will empower you over them. Allah Almighty said:

[قَاتِلُوهُمْ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ وَيُخْزِهِمْ وَيَنصُرْكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيَشْفِ صُدُورَ قَوْمٍ مُّؤْمِنِينَ * وَيُذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَيَتُوبُ اللهُ عَلَى مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ]

“Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people (14) And remove the fury in the believers' hearts. And Allah turns in forgiveness to whom He wills; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.” [At-Tawba:14-15].
