Kataeb Lawmaker Selim Sayegh commented on the assassination of Deputy Hamas Leader Saleh Al-Arouri in the southern suburbs and the developments in Gaza, and their repercussions on Lebanon.
"Contrary to expectations and what diplomats and embassies tell us, I believe that the situation will remain within the framework of the rules of engagement between Israel and Hezbollah," Sayegh said in an interview with LBCI.
"Embassies indicate that Israelis are serious about the issue of northern Israel, and they cannot endure a long-term war even if they impose losses on Hezbollah," he indicated.
He pointed out that in the long run, Israelis cannot afford losses, despite the renewed popularity of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu due to the war.
"Therefore, contrary to expectations, resorting to violence and a lack of restraint will not push matters out of control. There is a rational approach to managing the conflict. In my opinion, unless there is a comprehensive Israeli decision on a scenario, the assassination of Al-Arouri will remain detached from the context and framework. I do not believe that it, in itself, will lead to escalation," he stated.
"There is a slide towards a more intense war, but the logic that still governs the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah today is political logic," he said.
Regarding the post-Gaza stage and Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah's speech, Sayegh explained: "The biggest concern for the Lebanese is for Lebanon to be a satisfaction prize for this or that, as happened in 1990 when Lebanon became a satisfaction prize for Syria after the Iraq war. When the maritime demarcation took place, 1,400 square kilometers were relinquished because a government was formed in Iraq, and some sanctions were lifted on Iran. Therefore, Lebanon often becomes a satisfaction prize. Hence, we need to know how to address the Western mind and all stakeholders in the East and West to highlight the idea that their interest lies in having a successful state in Lebanon."
"What protects security and stability? Is it the security arrangements on the borders or the decisions taken by the political authority in Beirut? What safeguards Lebanon? Is it not the commitment to implementing international resolutions, especially UNSC Resolution 1701?" he asked.
Sayegh emphasized that the Lebanese interest lies in adopting UNSC Resolution 1701 as a legal reference.
