Now, regarding the response that we didn't give, and why we didn't,

please explain this later as well. Yes, I will explain this later as well.

Look, whatever we

wanted to get by striking, many times more, which is not comparable at all,

we got through negotiation.

Meaning, in exchange for not responding, you got concessions that…

What did we want from there? You saw that until 2: 00 a.m.,

Trump, the US President, granted a total ceasefire, not just in Dahiyeh,

but in all of Lebanon. And he spoke to Netanyahu with that kind of language.

This negotiation is a method of

struggle. So look,

the important thing is for us to reach our goal. That night,

with our friends on the military front whom we were in

constant contact with, I said," You are ready for this, and stay ready."

But look, something else happened. Meaning, security returned.

That very night and today, you saw that all the displaced people, more than 50% of

them returned. This power of negotiation is a method This is what a

struggle means.

I don't have diplomatic experience in the sense that our dear colleagues do as a

profession in the Foreign Ministry. My job is not diplomacy.

I am a combatant. I am a combatant.

But with a combatant's spirit and culture,

I pursue diplomatic work.

In any case, based on this,

we made agreements that we signed. The blockade is supposed to be for 30 days

as its duration to be implemented. You saw Trump,

in this agreement that has been made and will be finally signed, said,"

I will lift the blockade tonight," and he did.

You saw that the blockade was indeed lifted.

This is one of those concessions that happened following

negotiations and not responding. Meaning we didn't respond, we got concessions.

No, no, look, no. This is in the shadow of cohesion and authority.

Look, the important thing is that

we reach the goal we have.

Our goal was to lift the fire off the people. I tell you, if it weren't for this

negotiation, Even if we had fired missiles, would this have

happened? No. If it weren't for those missiles, that courage,

and that authority, my speaking here would have been nothing

but a bluff. These complement each other. This is that four- arena concept

I mentioned. If our people were not in the streets, lacked this zeal,

and lacked this cohesion, would I, who today am the head of the delegation as

a combatant, be able to speak with such power? Never.

For our armed forces, against an enemy armed to the teeth,

to be able to defeat them thoroughly,

after God Almighty, would it be possible without the people's support? Never.
