Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah called on Islamic countries to take coordinated and decisive measures against Israel during a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Tehran on Sunday. Fadlallah, a senior member of Hezbollah's Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc, complained of Israel's alleged expansionist ambitions and expressed gratitude for Iran's efforts to support the Lebanese people's resistance through diplomatic efforts. He also called for coordinated action against Israel over what he described as its crimes in Lebanon, Gaza, and the West Bank. Despite presenting Hezbollah as a Lebanese resistance movement, Fadlallah has repeatedly opposed efforts by the Lebanese state to disarm the group. In June, following the signing of a US-brokered framework agreement between Beirut and Jerusalem, he warned that the Lebanese government could not implement the agreement without going to civil war and said Hezbollah would resist any measures to disarm it. Araghchi praised the resistance and steadfastness of the Lebanese people in the face of brutal aggression by Israel and reaffirmed Iran's comprehensive support for the Lebanese people in defending their country's territorial integrity, dignity, and national sovereignty. The meeting comes as Iran has faced increasing criticism in Lebanon over its involvement in the country's internal affairs, despite Tehran's repeated declarations of support for Lebanese sovereignty.
