NNA – MPs Melhem Khalaf, Najat Aoun, Yassin Yassin, Elias Jaradi and Firas Hamdan, from the outskirts of the village of Ghajar, addressed a call this afternoonnbsp;to allnbsp;those concerned,nbsp;saying: ldquo;We, the nationrsquo;s representatives, stand here on the outskirts of the besieged village of Ghajar, on the Lebanese-Syrian border, to say openly to the whole world that thenbsp;Israeli enemy#39;s seizing ofnbsp;the northern part of the town of Ghajar is a very dangerous aggression against Lebanon,nbsp;a persistent assault on Lebanese sovereignty and a flagrant violation of all international covenants and resolutions, which cannot be tolerated nor ignored.quot;
They added: quot;We are present today in the village of Ghajar – as we came a year ago to al-Naqoura to confirm Lebanon#39;s rights and its entitlement to Line 29 – tonbsp;reaffirm our adherence to every grain of soil from our country, and to every drop of water from its sea, and there is no differentiation between one region and another, and no discrimination between one citizen and another.quot;
They also stressed onnbsp;the concept of sovereignty as being quot;indivisiblequot; and that quot;we arenbsp;all responsible for all the lands, for there is no bargaining or abandoning of any inch of territory and water of our homeland, nor any sovereign wealth that belongs to all the Lebanese people.quot;
The deputies strongly denounced the government#39;s quot;timid, indolent and inattentive position in the face of this seriousnbsp;event,quot;nbsp;urging it quot;to exhaust all pressure means, without any delay, to lift this usurping and blatant aggression immediately,quot; acknowledging the quot;heroic role of the Lebanese army in confronting the Zionist enemy and its ambitions.quot;
They added: quot;We call on it (Lebanese army) to establishnbsp;its ability to resistnbsp;the occupation and consolidate itsnbsp;legitimacynbsp;on all Lebanese lands and its ability to confront allnbsp;aggressors against Lebanon#39;s dignity, security and stability.quot;
The change deputies concluded by affirmingnbsp;quot;the necessity ofnbsp;consolidating a state that is responsible for all its citizens, protects and defends them, and exercises through its constitutional institutions its effective sovereignty and firm authority with justice over all its lands, and safeguards its borders with all national standards.quot;
