Lebanese Shiite scholar says Hezbollah brought 'destruction' and 'hatred' to Lebanon
When asked on the likelihood of Hezbollah disarming, Fuani showed optimism, citing the aftermath of President Ahmed al-Sharaa's successful overthrow of Bashar al-Assad.
Lebanese Shiite scholar Sheikh Muhammad al-Fu ani, living in exile, criticized Hezbollah in an N12 News interview on Thursday. He claimed that Iran brainwashed people into supporting the terrorist organization, causing destruction and hatred in Lebanon. Fu ani dismissed Hezbollah's claimed religious and moral teachings, stating their inner workings were not pure.
He divided Lebanon's Shia population into two groups: mercenaries ready to abandon the group, and others deceived by Iran. Fu ani described Hezbollah's current state as complicated due to heavy losses. When asked about Hezbollah disarming, he expressed optimism, suggesting that the group would leave Lebanon similar to other militias in the past.
Fu ani addressed Israelis, emphasizing that Shiite Muslims are not part of Hezbollah and calling for good relations between Israel and Lebanon, urging Israel to make this happen through direct talks.
