Ghaleb Abu Zeinab, serving on the political council of the party, has challenged remarks made by Marco Rubio regarding Hezbollah, contending that such allegations adopt the Israeli perspective while simultaneously concealing assaults targeting the Lebanese nation.

The political council member's statement represents a direct pushback against Rubio's characterizations of the armed group, with Abu Zeinab asserting that the accusations mirror positions commonly articulated by Israeli officials rather than presenting an independent assessment.

According to Abu Zeinab, the framing employed in these allegations functions to divert attention from what he describes as aggression perpetrated against Lebanon, suggesting that the focus on Hezbollah serves to mask broader regional dynamics affecting the country.
