In Lebanon, political and religious figures associated with the resistance narrative have reinforced the necessity of armed groups in response to ongoing territorial issues.

During a parliamentary session, MP Ali Ammar argued that the resistance is a permanent requirement, stating, “The resistance remains, remains, remains as long as an inch of our land is occupied.” This framing links the legitimacy of weapons outside state control to the presence of foreign occupation.

Following this, Sheikh Ali Daamoush, head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, rejected dialogue with authorities unless decisions criminalizing the resistance are reversed. Daamoush characterized the situation in southern Lebanon as a national issue, asserting that the state, the resistance, and loyal citizens share a collective responsibility to liberate the south, rebuild the region, and facilitate the return of residents.
