The MP asserted that October 17 would be remembered as a historic day commemorating a cross-communal national uprising. In his Friday speech, Nasrallah accused the Lebanese who took to the streets of treason.

He claimed that Hezbollah was behind the suppression of these protests and confronting the US-created chaos in Lebanon.

According to independent MP Abdel Rahman Bizri, "Lebanese, from various sects and affiliations, took to the streets on 17 October to remind the world that the state belongs to them, not politicians."

Bizri said of Nasrallah's speech, "We had hoped to reach an internal understanding on the next president by finding common ground around a candidate who doesn't support everyone, but represents everyone." It would have been better to wait for the decision of the foreign parties. We have already tested such decisions regionally and internationally, and the results have been disastrous.

"As parliamentarians, we feel as if we failed to elect the president, and we are ashamed before the people who elected us." Independent MPs will meet with MPs from other blocs early next week to clarify a common vision and possibly surprise.

Nasrallah also mentioned the Lebanese army in his speech, which is significant because many believe the army's commander, General Joseph Aoun, may run for president.

"The United States publicly declares its support for the Lebanese army, which it believes is qualified to confront resistance, but we have confidence in the army and its command, which rejects any confrontation with us." does," he said. We want a president who will not stab the resistance in the back," Nasrallah explained.

"We want a president who knows resistance has his back, a brave president who ... puts the national interest ahead of his own fear, a president who cannot be sold or bought."
