The Kataeb Lawmaker considered Hezbollah's narrative, stating that it expresses a desire to defend Gaza and martyrdom on the path to liberating Jerusalem, while linking Gaza to the borders.
This, in his view, isolates Hezbollah from the rest of the Lebanese environment, which he believes does not desire war.
He emphasized that this war is neither existential nor vital, and it is not considered a threat to the existence of Lebanon.
"The Lebanese entity is not linked to other entities in the region, and caution is needed to prevent Lebanon from being destroyed over the legitimacy of any cause," Sayegh indicated.
"We cannot approach what happened in the past with today's perspective. There is no Lebanese consensus, support, or unity regarding this war," he noted.
He reminded that Hezbollah withdrew from the south, and the army deployed along the borders with UNIFIL, as stipulated by UNSC Resolution 1701.
"Since 2006, there has been no significant breach of this resolution along the borders," he pointed out.
"Who authorized Hezbollah and made it responsible for overthrowing regimes in the region or defending entities or regimes? Who empowered it to overthrow a sovereign entity? Who gave it the right to commit to toppling the Israeli occupying entity?" he asked.
He pointed out the existence of a ceasefire agreement, asking, "Under which Lebanese creed, ministerial statement, or Lebanese-Lebanese agreement does one commit to overthrowing or preserving regimes?"
He added, "Hence, we assert that we do not allow the state to cover an action with the goal of overthrowing regimes or destroying countries. Our project is Lebanese and stands on the Lebanese borders."
He emphasized that his homeland is called Lebanon, not Palestine nor Syria.
Regarding the war in Gaza, he stated: "I do not see it as an Israeli victory because the Palestinian people are facing with remarkable courage in Gaza. I do not see a clear winner or loser. Therefore, we must take advantage of this balance to create a window of hope. Let us define our boundaries, and then we can stand on these boundaries and protect them with utmost vigilance. Most of the Naqoura lands, for example, have Christian endowments, as do the border villages. These lands are not exclusive to a sect or party."
He emphasized that the Palestinian cause should not be treated solely as a humanitarian cause but is inherently political and nationalist.
He urged finding a solution for the displaced Palestinian people who are living in inhumane conditions and facing various challenges.
