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.

Years of financial crisis weakened our institutions and public facilities, while successive wars caused widespread destruction of infrastructure, agricultural land, forests and ecosystems.

Recovery cannot be limited to rebuilding homes and roads; it must include reclaiming agricultural land, rehabilitating ecosystems and reviving livelihoods.

Beirut cannot remain a scene of crime and security breakdown

The era of absent accountability and whitewashing is over.

The investigations that have begun will have no ceiling other than the ceiling of the law.

The time for evasiveness is over.

The era of absence of accountability and obfuscation has ended, and he is keen to repeat that the investigations that have begun will have no ceiling other than the ceiling of the law.

the era of impunity is over

a field for crime and security chaos

Beirut cannot remain an arena for crime and security laxity

These steps constitute an actual launch for operating Qleyaat Airport and strengthening air connectivity between Lebanon and abroad, opening new horizons for economic and tourism development in the North and in Lebanon in general.

On Sunday, November 15, the air destinations served by the airport, the preliminary flight schedule and their times will be officially announced, allowing travelers to begin booking their flights from that same date, as a fundamental step toward the launch of air traffic from it. On November 22, coinciding with Independence Day and the anniversary of the martyrdom of President René Moawad, after whom the airport is named, trial flights will take off from the airport, while regular commercial flights will begin on December 14, 2026.

The opening of the 30th edition is a pivotal milestone for Horeca Lebanon and for the professionals who have shaped its journey over three decades. This edition reflects the resilience of a sector that continues to build, adapt and move forward, and Horeca Lebanon remains the platform where this sector meets with a clear purpose.

Nothing protects Lebanon except everyone's commitment to keeping the decision of war and peace and the monopoly on weapons in the hands of the state.

Enough of ties that repeatedly drag Lebanon into the furnace of futile wars, which will only give Israel more pretexts to expand its occupation of the south and persist in destruction, killing and displacement.

It is very regrettable that Lebanese are being misled by talk of the government being lost or confused, as if it is subject to external bets and illusory calculations.

The decision of war and peace and the exclusive possession of weapons is in the hands of the state, and there is no retreat from this approach

It is very unfortunate that Lebanese are being misled by talk of the government being lost or confused, as if it were subject to external bets and imaginary calculations. Our government governs by the force of the constitution, the law, and the parliamentary confidence granted to us twice, not once, and in accordance with its ministerial statement, not any alleged illusions.

Others are the ones who link their interests to abroad, and others are the ones betting on foreign powers, while what matters to me is to affirm that nothing protects Lebanon except everyone's commitment to keeping the decision of peace and war and the exclusive possession of weapons in the hands of the state. Whatever the nature of external developments, we are moving forward with this approach relentlessly.
