To USA Senator Lindsey Graham: Yes, Hezbollah Is A terrorist, Criminal & Jihadist Iranian Armed Proxy By constitutional standards and in accordance with all relevant international resolutions, the majority of the Lebanese people affirm that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and a group of outlaws. Elias Bejjani/February 08/2026
All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Matthew Bible 05/37)
Hezbollah: The Root and Lineage of Terrorism
Elias Bejjani/ X Platform – February 06/ 2026
“Hezbollah, the fundamentalist Khomeinist organization, is the mother, father, grandfather, and entire lineage of terrorism.”“Hezbollah is a terrorist—one million times a terrorist—criminal, drug manufacturer and trafficker, money launderer, fundamentalist gang of thugs, and an enemy of Lebanon, the Lebanese people, and all universal principles of peace.
The priority is liberation from the mullahs’ regime and all its criminal arms
Elias Bejjani/X Platform/February 06/2026
“Whatever the method, whatever its nature or components, what matters is that it leads to the downfall of the demonic mullahs’ regime and the dismantling of its octopus-like terrorist and fundamentalist arms—first and foremost Hezbollah in Lebanon.There will be no peace in the Middle East before the fall of the mullahs’ regime.”
A Political Slap, Not a Diplomatic Incident
The swift withdrawal of U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham from his meeting with Lebanese Army Commander General Rodolphe Haykal was not a routine protocol matter. It was a political slap that exposed the deep dysfunction within Lebanon’s ruling authority—military and political alike—in dealing with the most dangerous terrorist, theocratic, and criminal armed organization in Lebanon’s modern history: Hezbollah.
Graham’s question was direct and unambiguous: Is Hezbollah a terrorist organization?
The answer was confused, hesitant, and burdened with all the failures of the Lebanese state: “No, not in the Lebanese context.”
A Revealing Answer
With this response, General Haykal did not merely make a misjudgment. He provided further proof that Lebanon’s ruling class remains unable—or unwilling—to call things by their proper names, and unwilling to bear the cost of truth, even when that truth is constitutional, legal, and internationally documented.
Senator Graham said what needed to be said and wrote on X platform what needed to be written. He reminded the Lebanese authorities of what they deliberately try to forget: Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist organization since 1997 by both Republican and Democratic U.S. administrations. Its hands are stained with American blood, from the Marine barracks bombing to a long list of cross-border terrorist operations. When Graham stated that no military partner can be trusted if it denies this reality, he was expressing the position of a state—not a personal or emotional reaction.
The Answer That Should Have Been Given
In Lebanon, reactions varied. Many retired military officers, politicians, and citizens rightly argued that the answer should have been professional and constitutional: “I am a military officer who executes state decisions. It is not within my authority to decide whether Hezbollah is a terrorist organization. This question should be directed to the government.” Such an answer would have protected the Lebanese Army’s institutional role and spared it from political double standards.
Hezbollah: An Illegal Armed Group by Constitution
The answer that Hayal gave actually reflects the confusion of Lebanon’s political authority—still hostage to Hezbollah’s dominance and incapable of acknowledging that it is an Iranian, sectarian, criminal terrorist organization involved in drug production and trafficking, political assassinations, and every form of illicit trade.
More dangerously, Hezbollah was never legally legitimate in Lebanon. It was imposed by force under the cover of the Syrian Baathist occupation, which lasted until 2005. Hezbollah was the only armed group exempted from disarmament under the Taif Accord, which explicitly mandated the disarmament of all militias and the extension of state authority over all Lebanese territory.
The so-called formula of “the army, the people, and the resistance” is a constitutional aberration. It appeared only in ministerial statements, which have no legislative value. Legislation belongs exclusively to Parliament, and Parliament has never legalized Hezbollah as a resistance force. Under the Lebanese Constitution, Hezbollah is therefore an illegal armed group.
The Lebanese State Has Already Decided
This reality is no longer subject to interpretation. The current Council of Ministers, headed by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and attended by President Joseph Aoun, adopted a clear majority decision in its sessions of August 5 and August 7 of last year, classifying Hezbollah—like all other armed groups—as illegal. This decision was taken in implementation of: The ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel (approved unanimously by the Hezbollah-led government of Najib Mikati), UN Security Council Resolutions 1559, 1701, and 1680, The Armistice Agreement, And the Taif Accord.
Accordingly, the Lebanese state itself has dismantled what remained of the false political and rhetorical cover of the so-called “resistance.” Even the wooden and imposed “army, people, and resistance” formula has collapsed. Official state language now refers to Hezbollah simply as an armed group.
What Is Required Today
What Lebanon needs today is not gray rhetoric or ambiguous answers, but clear, independent, constitutional, and sovereign decisions—free from fear, appeasement, submission, and political acrobatics. Constitutionally and in accordance with all UN resolutions related to Lebanon, the Lebanese government must:
Officially declare Hezbollah a terrorist organization,
Expel its ministers from government and its MPs from Parliament,
Dismantle all its military, educational, and financial institutions,
Confiscate its weapons,
Arrest its leaders and refer them to the judiciary,
Fully implement the Constitution and all U*N resolutions.
Final Conclusion
Hezbollah is the father, mother, and entire lineage of terrorism, organized crime, and mafia-style criminality. States are not built through appeasement, and sovereignty is not restored through denial.
Simply, Those officials and politicians who lack the courage to give a clear answer are unfit for the positions they occupy.
