On the sixth anniversary of the Beirut port explosion, politicians voiced stances demanding justice and the uncovering of the truth. Hariri: In this context, former Prime Minister Saad Hariri wrote on his "X" account: "The roar of the explosion still echoes in our memory after six years during which the question has remained suspended in the skies of Beirut: Who caused the Beirut port explosion? Who will achieve justice for the martyrs, the wounded, and the victims? When will accountability begin so that we may reach the truth? The time for the indictment has come, and the time for the trial to begin has come." Al-Saddy: Minister of Energy and Water Joe Al-Saddy wrote on his "X" account: "Another year passes since the crime of August 4, while the truth remains missing, justice is absent, and the pain has not faded... Uncovering the truth of the Beirut explosion and trying the perpetrator, the executor, and the accomplice is a national responsibility, a humanitarian necessity, and an urgent need, because there is no actual restoration of confidence in the state without the achievement of justice." Al-Gemayel: MP Sami Gemayel also wrote on his "X" account on the anniversary of August 4: "We will not forget, we will not forgive. Accountability is coming." Khallaf: For his part, MP Melhem Khallaf said: "Six years since the crime of the Beirut port. Six years and the truth has not fully appeared, justice has not been achieved, and the families of the victims live the loss every day, while the injured carry the traces of the crime in their bodies and souls. This is not only the cause of the victims and their loved ones, but the cause of an entire homeland, and a test of the state's ability to protect rights, safeguard the independence of the judiciary, and hold accountable everyone whose responsibility is proven, regardless of their position. What is required is clear: completing the judicial path to its natural end, through an open and fair trial that determines responsibilities, leading to a verdict issued in the name of the Lebanese people. Justice is not revenge, but a right for the victims and society, and a duty upon the state, and there is no way to restore the confidence of the Lebanese in their institutions except by enacting it. Homelands are not built on forgetfulness, and a state cannot stand with impunity. Only the truth does justice to the victims, and only justice restores the prestige of the law and the meaning of the state." Bassil: MP Gebran Bassil wrote on his "X" account: "On the anniversary of August 4, we remember the martyrs, the wounded, and those affected whose properties were lost. It is not enough just to remember; it is the duty of all of us to strive for justice for the martyrs and the truth for the living, which depends on a decision to complete the correct judicial path without stopping at every fabricated judicial and political barrier. Enough waiting, because delayed justice is not justice." Al-Hawat: MP Ziad Al-Hawat wrote on his "X" account: It is shameful 6 years after the port explosion crime that justice remains forbidden. Procrastination and stagnation are no longer understandable, and the issuance of the indictment has become a necessity and a duty to know the truth and achieve accountability. It is the right of the families of the martyrs, the injured, and all Lebanese struck by this disaster to know the perpetrator, the facilitator, the negligent, and who obstructed the investigation, and why? Without justice, there is neither a state nor stability. You want the project of a state; justice in the port explosion is the first cornerstone." Abi Ramia: Additionally, MP Simon Abi Ramia wrote on his personal social media account: "On the fourth of August, we do not merely commemorate an explosion, but we revive a wound that has not healed, and a city that paid the price of negligence, recklessness, and irresponsibility. Beirut was not just the victim of an explosion, but the victim of a system that allowed the port, the lifeline, to turn into a source of death and destruction. Thousands of families still carry the pain of loss, and thousands of the wounded are still waiting for justice that is not yet complete, while the truth remains captive to machinations. Loyalty to the martyrs is not through speeches or tears, but through enacting complete justice, and uncovering the truth without exception, immunities, or interference. No state is built on obscuring the truth, and no homeland rises if the blood of its children remains without accountability. On the anniversary of the fourth of August, we bow in reverence to the souls of the martyrs, stand by the wounded and the families of the victims, and renew the pledge that the truth shall remain a right that does not statute-bar, and that justice shall remain a national and moral demand until it is fully achieved. Glory to the martyrs, healing to the wounded, and justice for Beirut... because it deserves life, and its people deserve the truth." Al-Asmar: MP Saeed Al-Asmar wrote on his "X" account: "August 4 is not just a date... it is a test for the state. Whoever brought in the ammonium nitrate must be held accountable. And whoever disrupted the investigation must be held accountable. And whoever hid the truth must be held accountable. We will not accept that the blood of more than two hundred martyrs remains without justice, nor that the judiciary remains captive to pressure and hegemony. The truth does not statute-bar. And justice is not an option. We will not fail the martyrs of August 4." Freim: Similarly, MP Neemat Frem wrote on his "X" account: "The fourth of August is not a date in memory, but a wound that knows how to return every year, and an hour at which the heart of a homeland stopped. Since that evening, sorrow has not left souls, because the truth has not come to light. A homeland does not heal when the truth is buried under the rubble. And justice, even if delayed, remains the promise that no one has the right to confiscate." Sadek: MP Waddah Sadek wrote on his "X" account: "The commemoration of August 4 this year is different, as we feel for the first time that accountability has become closer, and that the political and militia cover that protected those who caused this crime is no longer what it was. This cause was not for us a fleeting occasion, but formed an essential part of the battle we fought to change the political reality that brought Lebanon to where it is, and to build a state where the law is above all. From the first day, we committed to keeping this cause present at every station, and to carrying it inside the parliament until justice is achieved and those responsible are held accountable. We hope that the coming phase will witness decisive judicial steps translated into actual justice, through the decisions we await from the judiciary, so that the families of the victims get their right to truth and accountability." Abdel Massih: MP Edib Abdel Massih wrote on the "X" platform: "On the anniversary of the Beirut port bombing, I do not want to reminisce or offer condolences, but I want the truth, arrest warrants, an indictment, and defendants behind bars... We have full confidence in the Acting Public Prosecutor to gift the families of the victims and the Lebanese: delayed justice." Makhzoumi: For his part, MP Fouad Makhzoumi wrote on his "X" account: "On the anniversary of the Beirut port explosion, we remember one of the biggest tragedies that struck Lebanon, and we renew our standing by the families of the martyrs and the wounded who have never stopped demanding truth and justice. This cause is not a private affair for the families of the victims, but the cause of an entire homeland, and a state that respects its citizens cannot be built without holding officials accountable, no matter how high their positions. Delayed justice is ongoing injustice, and the time has come for the judiciary to take its course away from any interference or disruption, leading to uncovering the full truth and doing justice to the victims." Moawad: MP Michel Moawad also wrote on his "X" account on the anniversary of August 4: "Justice now." Badr: MP Nabil Badr published on his "X" platform account on the sixth anniversary of the port explosion an image with the text: "The truth is a right." Karam: For his part, MP Faisal Karami wrote on his "X" account: "On the anniversary of the Beirut port explosion, we stand in reverence to the souls of the martyrs, and affirm that this catastrophe will remain a wound in the conscience of the homeland. Uncovering the full truth, achieving justice, and holding accountable everyone whose responsibility is proven, regardless of their position or the faction they belong to, is a national duty that tolerates no laxity or bargaining, because justice alone does justice to the victims, safeguards the prestige of the state, and protects Lebanon." Abu Zeid: Former MP Amal Abu Zeid published on the "X" platform a picture of the Beirut port bombing on the sixth anniversary of the Fourth of August, accompanied by a comment stating: "6 years since the Beirut port explosion and justice is still absent." El Khazen: Additionally, former minister Wadih El Khazen, Dean of the Maronite General Council, said: "On the painful anniversary of the Fourth of August, we bow in reverence before the souls of the martyrs of the Beirut port explosion, from the ranks of the army, security forces, civil defense, firefighters, paramedics, and innocent citizens, who fell in one of the worst disasters Lebanon has known in its modern history. We affirm that their memory will remain present in the conscience of the homeland, and that their blood is a trust that must not be squandered." He continued: "The port crime is not a page to be turned with the passage of time, nor a file managed by postponement and procrastination, but a major national issue that touches the essence of the state, its prestige, and the confidence of the Lebanese in their institutions. The state's primary responsibility is to protect its citizens and safeguard their lives and dignity, and any failure in this duty entails questioning and accountability." He added: "We affirm our categorical rejection of any attempt to dilute the truth or disrupt the path of justice, and we demand the full realization of rights, and the accountability of everyone whose responsibility is proven, regardless of their position or affiliation, because no one should be above the law, and no immunity rises above the blood of the martyrs and the right of the homeland to know the truth. The fourth of August will remain an open national wound, but it will also remain a resounding call to build a just and strong state, a state that respects its citizens, protects them, and restores their confidence in its institutions. May God have mercy on the martyrs of the Beirut port, our condolences to their patient families, and may God protect Lebanon from all harm." Dagher: For his part, the assistant to the head of the Kataeb Party for political and electoral affairs, Serge Dagher, wrote on "X": "August 4. We will not forget you. We will not forget our Secretary-General, we will not forget the Kataeb victims, we will not forget all the victims of Lebanon, we will not forget every wounded person, we will not forget everyone who cried, feared, and lost. We want the truth now. We want accountability."
