Background
Hezbollah’s political wing in the Lebanese parliament is called the Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc. Its representatives provide representation to different districts in the country, basically where there are large concentrations of Shiites as well as Hezbollah supporters. Most of Hezbollah’s parliament members are holding their job for more than a decade, some since the 90’s. In recent years, Hezbollah regularly holds two ministry positions in the Lebanese cabinet that is nominated after the elections.
Hezbollah’s MP (MP – member of parliament) are connected to the leadership of the organization and even to Iranian high rank figures. Their purpose is to serve both of them in all the Lebanese political entities.
Some of Hezbollah’s MPs are under US Treasury sanctions due to their significant role in a terror organization. They have an important role in the extreme situation that Lebanon is facing today. They don’t care about the Lebanese citizens who are not their supporters. If someone is questioning or doubting them or the organization, eventually he will be eliminated (as has happened with Rafiq Hariri and Lokman Slim), and then make it look like “business as usual”.
