Member of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc, MP Hassan Fadlallah, criticized in an issued statement on Sunday, those who are defending the US ambassador to Lebanon, Dorothy Shea, in wake of a recent issued ruling preventing media outlets from interviewing her, considering that Shea’s statements deliberately undermine Lebanon’s sovereignty.
“It would have been more beneficial for these individuals to stand by their people and their constitutional powers, and defend their violated freedoms and the livelihood of the Lebanese, rather than rushing to beseech the satisfaction of a fleeting American era from Lebanon and the region,” said Fadlallah.
He added: “The recent statements of the American Ambassador in Beirut constitute a blatant attack against the sovereignty and national dignity of our country, and an offense to its people, sanctities and the blood of its martyrs, who liberated their lands and protected their people, in the face of American wars by the Israeli and Takfiri enemies, so that Lebanon remains a country on the map of independent states and home to public liberties.”
“This is what we adhere to and preserve, and the greatest threat to these freedoms is America's wars in the region and its racism, which is manifested in what is happening in the American streets, and its absolute support for the Zionist entity, which opposes Lebanon, the country of diversity and coexistence,” Fadlallah corroborated.
"The recent campaign of incitement and misinformation led by the American administration and its tools, from the head of its diplomacy to his assistant, far-reaching the US Ambassador in Beirut, against the majority of the Lebanese people, is nothing but a miserable attempt to cover up the conspiracy role of this administration against the livelihood of the Lebanese people and their national currency, which was revealed by the Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah,” the MP emphasized.
He indicated herein that Sayyed Nasrallah “has set the correct national framework to confront it [conspiracy role], embarking on a serious national endeavor to open the way for promising economic options for Lebanon outside the American hegemony, which is increasing the tension of American officials and their pressure on Lebanon to prevent it from rising.”
"The Lebanese authorities, at the foremost of which being the Foreign Affairs Ministry, are called upon to take immediate action to compel this ambassador to respect international law, which defines the duties of diplomats, and to abide by the Lebanese laws in force,” the MP asserted.
“This is a matter we will pursue according to the legal frameworks, because the aggressive behavior of this ambassador is daring and unabashed towards the state, and is a challenge to its laws and the rulings of its jurisdiction," Fadlallah underlined.
