Public transport has become an economic and social necessity and a national responsibility
We will have a new route linking Beirut to Jounieh and Jounieh to Tripoli, and another route from Tripoli linking it to René Moawad Airport
Our goal today is to build a sustainable, environmentally friendly system with lines that meet the needs of Lebanese regions at an acceptable tariff
Successive crises have forced us to find solutions for them, but partial and temporary solutions are not enough unless they are accompanied by developing and strengthening public transport.
Full-time status is a duty on the government for the sake of Lebanon and the national university, not a luxury
The omens of military strikes, assassinations and bombings are more present in the scene than the wheel of diplomacy.
There is an explosion that will occur at a sudden moment.
The great tension in the region, from setting tankers ablaze in Hormuz to the bombing of Saudi Arabia, up to the tension of the situation in Lebanon from its interior to its south, and the heating up of the Israeli and American elections, cannot continue.
Handling the two explosives shipments must constitute a turning point in the way Hezbollah and its weapons are dealt with
Meeting with the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Nabil Fahmy, during which political developments in Lebanon and the Arab arena were discussed in light of the growing challenges facing Lebanon and the region and their repercussions on political, security and economic stability.
put a final end to the duality of weapons and the military organization of Hezbollah across all Lebanese territory
dangerous indicators
a comprehensive survey of the Rouissat-Jdeideh area and its surroundings, following the discovery of a tunnel in the area
A definitive end must be put to weapons duality!
I contacted the Minister of Defense this morning, and asked him to have the army and security forces conduct a comprehensive survey of the Rouissat - Jdeideh area and its surroundings, following the discovery of a tunnel in the area. He showed responsiveness to the request. A tunnel in Metn, an explosives shipment in Dahr al-Baydar, and clashes with security forces in the Dahieh… dangerous indicators require a final end to the duality of weapons and Hezbollah's military organization across all Lebanese territory. The continuation of the illegal weapon and Hezbollah's military and security organization constitutes an imminent danger, and the state must act decisively to preserve Lebanon.
A precise date cannot be set before the necessary readiness for operation is complete.
The Lebanese Civil Aviation Authority had already identified most of the issues highlighted by the report, and has already begun taking corrective measures.
Very positive.
Every measure that regulates work and preserves the country's reputation and the drivers' source of livelihood.
A project and a plan are being prepared in this context.
The Israelis focus on all levels of society because they believe each individual can be dealt with in a unique way, based on the fact that Hezbollah in Lebanon has deeply integrated into Lebanese society. Initially, they focus on members of this force, then on the supporting environment of the resistance movement, then on the surrounding groups.
The referral of the complaint against Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad to the military court is unacceptable, and constitutes a dangerous precedent that undermines the independence of diplomatic work. Lebanese diplomacy must not be subject to political calculations. What is required is protecting institutions, not intimidating them.
Lebanese diplomacy must not be subjected to political calculations
In 2005, the explosives truck was not stopped, and the result was the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. We will not ask about the destination of explosives transported by Hezbollah elements; the more likely scenario is a wave of assassinations as between 2004 and 2008. Delaying the implementation of decisions and law enforcement is what constitutes a danger to civil peace. The state must immediately begin dismantling Hezbollah's military and security structure before we all pay the price of terrorism again.
special implications
Lebanon needs real decentralization, and municipalities that have clear powers and income and financial resources enabling them to implement and bear their responsibilities.
We promised you that the train would run, and today we are here and the train is running before us.
Cooperation between the state, municipalities, the private sector, and supporters makes it possible to achieve tangible projects that meet citizens' needs.
Three years since the sacred crossing: the day the arms of men broke the occupation's security theory once and for all, leaving neither deterrence, nor decisiveness, nor warning, thanks be to God.
What is required today is the implementation decision. The state has taken preliminary decisions, and the time has come to translate them, because the Lebanese want to live in freedom, dignity and safety on their land, and for Lebanon to be a state, not an arena for others' conflicts.
