Kataeb Political Bureau Member Alain Hakim considered that Hezbollah bears responsibility for its actions and for the situation in southern Lebanon.

He pointed out that Hezbollah has no Lebanese role but is solely Iranian, serving as a "deterrent force" used by Iran.

"We are the fiercest opponents of Hezbollah, but we are the only ones extending a hand to all Lebanese,” Hakim stated in an interview with LBCI.

He noted that the Kataeb Party had initiated dialogues with Hezbollah, led by former minister Elie Marouni, but discussions stalled on the issues of sovereignty and arms.

Regarding the alleged separation that the Kataeb Party discussed with Hezbollah, Hakim said that this separation has several criteria, emphasizing that the Kataeb Party will not accept continuing in the same situation in the next phase.

Hakim described the opposition as the defender of Lebanon's sovereignty and interests.

He affirmed that the opposition is fulfilling its duties and "disturbing" those who are undermining the state.

"We must send a message to the outside that we are not satisfied with the current situation in Lebanon,” Hakim noted.

"It is important for us that the opposition be a unified and strong front. All our political actions are based on consultations with all opposition parties,” he added.

Hakim highlighted that the recent meeting with US envoy Amos Hochstein confirms the opposition's unity towards external issues and proves that the front can reach practical solutions.

“ A state without effective institutions is futile, and the only solution today is to reconstitute it,”  Hakim concluded.
