Lady of the Mountain': Hezbollah Must Exit Regional Commitments

Confirmed the "Lady of the Mountain" meeting's adherence to the principle of "Lebanon first," stating: "Far removed from the alignment policies shaping in the region, and on all political forces, foremost among them Hezbollah, exiting regional commitments to safeguard Lebanon's meaning."

The gathering, during its weekly session at the Ashrafiyyeh headquarters according to the statement, emphasized that "Iranian occupation has prompted an Israeli occupation in Lebanon, and a clear indication of these two occupations is seen in the battle of 'Tilal Ali al-Taher,' which confirms that the conflict in southern Lebanon is fundamentally Lebanese; a struggle over interests between Iran's Revolutionary Guard seeking to solidify its military presence and Israel's interests ahead of upcoming elections."
