The distinguished Jaafari Mufti Sheikh Ahmad Qablan stated, "For those concerned: Israel is an absolute enemy, an absolute evil, and absolute criminality. We will not accept the existence of this Zionist entity nor the beautification of its fangs, which are soaked in the blood of Gaza, Lebanon, and the region. We must strike its foundation and structures to rid ourselves of it; any communication with it is an absolute crime. Normalization with it under the pretext of holidays and other reasons is an even greater betrayal and desecration. The holidays of the Lord are for the Lord unless blessed by the Zionist, turning them into holidays of evil and a sanctification of Zionist crimes. The necessity pertains to those overwhelmed by their circumstances, and not to those traversing the horizons to partake in the ceremony of their crimes and the blessings of their killings and atrocities. Every meeting with the symbols of this entity is a glaring crime that should not go unpunished."
He added in a statement: "Lebanon is prohibited for Zionists and their normalizers, and it will remain a country of resistance, partnership, and nationalism forever. There is no greater evil in this world after Washington than Tel Aviv. What is happening on the southern front is a comprehensive crushing of the hopes of some who suffer from what Tel Aviv, the defeated, also suffers from. The Zionist crime in Bint Jbeil will not go unpunished. What we are experiencing now is the time of major victory heralds, and today, the region is witnessing a new history and a new structure being established upon the ruins of the Zionist-Atlantic alliance, and forever, God willing."
