Some may say that I went to the international arbitration court and a decision was issued recognizing the other Olympic committee. It is true that I filed an appeal in July 2025, and the decision was issued in 2026 and consisted of 42 pages, but in the final ruling on the last page there was no mention of recognizing Pierre Jalkh's committee; rather, it rejected my appeal.
We are today in a major predicament, but yes there are talks to resolve this crisis at the highest levels. Personally, my resignation exists and I am not clinging to responsibility. Accordingly, the situation requires the resignation of both committees, and then we call for new elections in which we bring together the two conflicting teams, while finding solutions to the legal problems and complaints, but the other side rejects that. If we Lebanese are not in agreement, how can we go and compete abroad before the international community?
Lebanon affirms that environmental restoration and strengthening resilience to climate change must be an integral part of the reconstruction process, alongside achieving stability, restoring our sovereignty, and respecting international law. National efforts, however important, cannot alone overcome the structural and financial constraints facing a country seeking to rise from long and successive crises and wars. In this context, we call for increasing public financing, strengthening the role of grants, and simplifying access to existing financing mechanisms, while taking into account the special circumstances of countries affected by crises.
The environmental losses resulting from Israeli attacks, which constitute a violation of international humanitarian law, exceeded $512 million in 2023 and 2024, in addition to other losses incurred by Lebanon during 2026.
For Lebanon, climate challenges cannot be separated from the repercussions of wars and the economic collapse, or from the arduous national task of recovery and reconstruction.
