What they said

I conveyed to them the support of the Arab League and my personal support for Lebanon, and the priority it enjoys in the issues of the Arab League.

The importance of Arab states' support for Lebanon in the path of return, recovery and reconstruction, in a way that contributes to stabilizing people in their land and strengthening the presence of state institutions.

The importance of continuing Arab support for Lebanon, especially for the Lebanese state's efforts aimed at achieving a complete Israeli withdrawal from its territory and extending its authority over all its territory with its own forces alone.

I will not run in the upcoming elections

Ben Gvir will be a senior minister in the government

In accordance with the instructions that I and the prime minister gave to the Israeli army, we must continue to assassinate everyone who took part in the October 7 attack in Gaza or outside it. Everyone will be brought to justice, and there will be no immunity for any of them anywhere.

We will continue working with full determination until Hamas is dismantled and Gaza is disarmed and cleared of weapons and tunnels, in accordance with the US-led agreement for the release of prisoners, or until the Israeli army carries that out itself.

Were it not for the Israeli aggressions in the south, there would have been movement in the street, and I say that the confrontation with the system is coming.

We are working with Lebanon, of course, and working with the international community to secure the borders with international forces, and I hope it will also be with international legitimacy through a comprehensive international resolution, and this path is not easy.

In light of the increasing warnings on all fronts and the sensitivity of this stage, the probabilities of escalation have risen.

Do not test us, for you will receive strikes harsher than what you have suffered so far.

We have the readiness, resolve and capability to strike our enemies whenever that becomes necessary.

The Arab League's position is firm: the presence of UNIFIL with an official political cover from the United Nations is the best option, because it places the international community on the ground and makes everyone responsible for exposure to the international community. Unfortunately, there is a strong trend toward ending this mission, and we are still trying to counter that. There are other proposals by states to take a position in place of UNIFIL. This is ultimately governed by two things: first, there must be a positive Lebanese position on this; second, and I believe this is often also a Lebanese position, the formed forces must be given an international framework and international legitimacy, so that any infringement upon them by the Israeli side is an infringement upon an international position, not only the position of the participating states. We are working with Lebanon, of course, and with the international community to secure the border with international forces, and I hope there will also be international legitimacy through a comprehensive international resolution, but the matter is not easy.

I intended to visit the south because the Israeli position and the Israeli aggression against Lebanon are rejected. The Israeli occupation and aggression against Lebanese institutions are rejected, and this is an official position of all Arab states, and of course also my personal position. The goals of the visit at this stage are political and to see the situation personally on the ground, and it will be an incentive for political movement on my part afterward with Arab states regarding aid, the needs of Lebanese institutions including the Lebanese Army, and also the material aspect in support of harsh conditions, in addition to political movement at the international level. So this is a first step, but it is a beginning, not the end, of the coming effort.

I am very happy to be honored to meet the Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Nabih Berri. It is my second meeting with His Excellency; the first was a long time ago when I was Egypt's foreign minister, and now as Secretary-General of the Arab League. My presence and my message at this specific time both have meaning and significance. My presence in Lebanon — one of the first countries I am visiting as Secretary-General — reflects an Arab and personal commitment to the Lebanese cause, to Lebanese concerns, to the Lebanese state, its institutions, and to the Lebanese citizen and people.
