If Lebanon cant chase Hezbollah out of Lebanon, then they should ask Israel to help them do that so that Lebanon can shine again.

How can terrorist be part of your government,

[JKAndre]

Such a big liar, he even didn't answer the right question!!!

[paulnic]

😂😂😂😂the guy is so scared to say Hezbollah is to be blamed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[ramt]

It was a christian country...lebanon was formed as a christian country..these guys have taken over and now talking fairness.

7, 500 missiles fired he expects Israel not to attack. He should be on a flight to Mars.

Hezbollah is also operating within the country, functioning almost like a parasite, independent of the government’s authority. Instead of confronting this internal issue, the Lebanese are shifting the blame onto Israel. It's truly baffling.

Who pushed them when they started launching rockets on thr 8th even before the invasion of Gaza. Stop crying like a baby and own up responsibility.

[j.n.]

Give me a break, they were supposed to disarm Hezbollah in 2006. Instead of that, they included them in government.

[errolsidelsky]

This guy is a joke. Negative efforts from Israel's side? Really, stop the missiles....

[ChimaChuks-wm]

In my opinion what i understand he is saying is that Lebanon have no single control over Hezbollah and its the ordinary citizens of Lebanon that are paying the price.

[real_abiodunwilliam]

See how he's grandstanding and indirectly supporting Hezbollah.

[charlie]

This guy is such a liar. "To be honest" says the liar

[amhafantaye]

In summary he's saying the Lebanese government can't control Hezbollah. Honest man.

[samuelwairugih]

If Hezbollah didn't join Hamas on 8th October, Lebanon would not be economically and socially unstable. If they took the prior UN resolutions seriously, there wouldn't be social destabilisation on both sides.

[zeSabs]

Weak government, no responsibility accepted, everyone’s fault but theirs.

[danielokpakooghomiriona]

This man didn't answer any questions

[solrex]

The government of Lebanon is fully responsible for this war as they allowed Hezbollah to rule the country. They left their country behind, leaving it on pieces in hands of Hezbollah.
Is your responsibility minister.

[nareshgirdhar]

Jordon kicked Palestians out and saved its generations from the curse of their presence in their country.

[paragg]

This joker Minister made clear that Hezbollah is out of control and everything is in hands of Hezbollah, Lebanese army has no balls 🤣🤣🤣🤣
