The excellent Jaafari Mufti, Sheikh Ahmad Qablan, sent a message to "the brotherly unified Druze," stating: "To the unified Druze brothers in Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine, I say: the blood is one, the soul is one, the war is one, the enemy is one, and the mourning is one. What happened in Majdal Shams is unrelated to the resistance, and this matter is certain. The history of Sultan Pasha Al-Atrash is a partner in all battles of resistance and their epics. The Israeli narrative regarding what happened in Majdal Shams is a weaving of a murderer who wipes his crime's blood with his tears. The butcher of Gaza and the enemy of God and humanity is unbelievable, and the Zionist goal is to tear apart our unity and cover the Gaza massacre and the remains of its children and women with crocodile tears that are never satisfied with blood and massacres. No one has paid the price to rescue the Golan Heights and Palestine and its people as the resistance has."
He continued: "To Tel Aviv, we have a message: war with war, destruction with destruction, expansion with expansion, and the eagerness for historical combat knows no limits. Heavy rocket strikes capable of drowning Tel Aviv and Israeli cities in destruction and fire are at the ready. Any breaking of the combat rules will be met with a counter-break that is heavier. How we yearn for a war that avenges the killers of prophets and saints, and betrayers of land and humanity. Any foolish risk will be met with a seismic response reaching Israeli cities and infrastructure. Closing the Mediterranean Sea and other arteries to Israel can be done with utmost ease, and the entire region is now ready for a historic moment. The resistance will not hesitate for a moment to ignite the largest wars of vengeance against Israel."
He addressed the Lebanese interior, saying: "There are those who elect Lebanon's existence and sovereignty on the southern front with the greatest of sacrifices. Political forces must meet this with a presidential settlement worthy of the greatest prices for this country's sovereignty and existence. It is a disgrace for anyone who supports Zionist positions or echoes them or undermines the resistance's resolve and its historic honor against a backdrop of a cheap deal or dirty mercenary game. National honor now, before tomorrow, necessitates the election of a President who is worthy of the most dangerous circumstances Lebanon faces regarding existence, sovereignty, and national partnership. Those who boycott the settlement ruin Lebanon and increase its risks. Fiery positions are of no use; what is useful is to meet the greatest epics of national sovereignty with a presidential settlement worthy of the greatest sacrifices for the sovereignty of Lebanon."
