The head of the "Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc," MP Mohammad Raad, announced that "what we did in Lebanon supported the resistance's efforts in Gaza to thwart the objectives of the Zionist enemy." He continued, "The Israeli army has weakened; a large number of its troops have either been killed, injured, or suffered psychological crises, rendering it an army of the handicapped, even though it was once a fighting force. What changed the balance is the resilience of the resistors and the steadfastness of the people supporting them."
Raad pointed out that "the resistance remained in Gaza, and the American, who brought his ships to support the Israeli enemy and its aggression against Gaza, is now compelled to present a resolution in the Security Council to acknowledge the need to cease the aggression in Gaza, out of fear that if the fighting continues, the resistance will devour the enemy."
He noted that "the Israeli enemy is on the verge of collapsing internally: the government is divided, resignations are being submitted, political parties disagree among themselves, the settlers conflict with the government, and each sector of the army and security apparatus acts independently." He added, "There is no regulation of affairs, but rather weakness creeping into all the veins of the temporary and illegitimate entity, which is a product of patience, steadfastness, struggle, and martyrdom."
Raad stated, "Those who threaten war in Lebanon must first resolve the issue of Gaza, from which they are unable to extricate themselves. In any case, the resistance is keen on its people and its country and chooses the appropriate means to confront the enemy, achieving the necessary support for the oppressed and the resistors in Gaza while protecting Lebanon's sovereignty, security, strength, and dignity against the Zionist enemy and its ambitions. We are sending messages to the enemy not to gamble in this adventure; either through its threats, it is begging for support, or it is only showing off its muscles."
He concluded: "Through these messages, we affirm our determination to confront and our will, and our commitment to deter its aggression and change the situation if it considers such folly."
