Responsible dialogue, based on partnership and respect for the constitution and state institutions, is the most effective path to avoiding the worst, preserving civil peace, and strengthening state sovereignty, far from the logic of rupture and escalation.

The results of the American and Israeli elections, and the repercussions they may carry for Washington's and Tel Aviv's policies toward the region, require the Lebanese to fortify their internal front and unify their national position in the face of upcoming challenges.

The efforts made by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri to reopen channels of communication and dialogue between President of the Republic Joseph Aoun and Hezbollah are of great national importance at this delicate stage, as they constitute an opportunity to contain differences and prevent the country from sliding into an internal confrontation in which Lebanon has no interest.
