Makhzoumi: Hezbollah's Confession About Explosives is a Dangerous Challenge to the State!

MP Fouad Makhzoumi wrote on his account on the "X" platform: "The confession by MP Hassan Fadlallah that the car loaded with explosives seized in Dahr al-Baydar belongs to Hezbollah, his demand for the return of the explosives and the release of detainees, up to threatening Lebanese authorities, constitutes a serious and direct challenge to the state's authority and its decisions, and an unacceptable disregard for its sovereignty and laws.

We remind Hezbollah that the Council of Ministers decided on March 2, 2026, to ban all its military and security activities and oblige it to hand over its weapons to the state. By what right does it demand the recovery of explosives confiscated by security agencies? In what capacity does it threaten the state and its institutions? Has law enforcement become a crime, and its violation an acquired right?

The public threat against the state must not pass without a decisive response, and the decisions of the Council of Ministers are not ink on paper nor subject to Hezbollah's approval or objection.

I renew my request to His Excellency the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister to convene an urgent extraordinary session of the government, and to take immediate and firm executive decisions to implement the March 2 decision, complete investigations, pursue those responsible, and protect security agencies and the judiciary from any threat or pressure. What is required today is actions, not statements, and implementation of decisions, not negotiation over them.

Any leniency in the face of this challenge will undermine the state's prestige and encourage continued violations of its authority. The era of imposing facts on the ground and threats with weapons has ended. There is no authority above the state's authority, and there are no weapons, explosives, or security decisions outside its legitimate institutions."
