The School of Citizenship is not a one-year project, nor a passing activity, nor an initiative tied to a specific circumstance. The School of Citizenship is a culture of building bridges, a culture of building peace, a culture of respecting difference, and a culture of building the human being.

We are with you... and we believe in you.

Full solidarity with Her Excellency Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad, who is playing an important national and diplomatic role in a delicate and fateful phase that Lebanon is going through.
فؤاد مخزومينائب لبناني14 Oct 2026 · العربي الجديد
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.
سامي الجميلرئيس حزب الكتائب اللبنانية14 Oct 2026 · العربي الجديد
We have no vengeful goal. There is a specific incident that requires investigation. If it is true, the prosecution must charge her because the act attributed to her, assuming it is true, is outside the scope of the negotiation she is tasked with under a mandate from the President of the Republic; rather, it is a side matter that constitutes a violation of the law on boycotting Israel.

I know he wants that, but the decision is not in his hands

In my opinion, this (attack on Iran) is not suitable for us

The European mission will absolutely not replace the UN mission, and there can be no talk of a European force replacing the international force.
محيي الدين الشحيميأستاذ القانون والسياسات الخارجية في كلية باريس للدراسات العليا14 Oct 2026 · الشرق الأوسط
The basic idea behind the presence of the European force, whatever its form, scope of work, powers and limits of movement, is not limited to field, operational and logistical aspects, but is essentially connected to the continuation of European support for Lebanon, accompanying the Lebanese state in completing its path toward implementing international resolutions, and supporting the diplomatic path it follows to restore its sovereignty and authority.
محيي الدين الشحيميأستاذ القانون والسياسات الخارجية في كلية باريس للدراسات العليا14 Oct 2026 · الشرق الأوسط
We do not yet have much data on the nature of the proposed European mission and the tasks it might undertake, but what we understood is that there is communication and discussions among European countries about a specific formula to support Lebanon, without its details having been fully clarified to us.
فادي علامةرئيس لجنة الشؤون الخارجية والمغتربين14 Oct 2026 · الشرق الأوسط
If this plan is approved on this basis, there will be a big problem. We expressed this before the MPs and informed them that we will resort to daily moves if it is approved.
علاء خورشيدرئيس جمعية صرخة المودعين14 Oct 2026 · Lebanon Debate
If the increase is paid via card, that is not the core of the problem, because the depositor can use it in supermarkets, pharmacies and elsewhere. But the big problem is that these amounts be deducted from the first $100,000 the depositor is supposed to receive in cash.
علاء خورشيدرئيس جمعية صرخة المودعين14 Oct 2026 · Lebanon Debate
We heard that the $200 increase in withdrawals may be conditional on deducting these amounts from the first $100,000 to be paid to depositors, but we informed the MPs that this is rejected, because we are working to raise the $100,000 ceiling so that it is the first payment to depositors in cash, not to have it reduced.

He erred in referring the complaint
راجي السعدنائب14 Oct 2026 · Lebanon Debate
As the prime minister and I have made clear, we will not withdraw from the 'security zones'. If Hezbollah joins Iran in any attack on Israel, it will receive a severe blow and will lose additional territory in southern Lebanon, in Nabatieh and (the) Litani (River), which will become part of Israel's permanent 'security zone', and the Israeli army is ready for that.
يسرائيل كاتسوزير الأمن الإسرائيلي14 Oct 2026 · شبكة مصدر الاخبارية
The southern suburbs of Beirut will also be evacuated, and the 'terrorist' infrastructure there will be targeted, which will turn more than one million (Lebanese) into displaced persons.

Lands in Nabatieh and the Litani will become part of Israel's permanent 'security zone'.

Discussions also covered the implications of Resolution 2790 and the unified Lebanese position on it, and the demand to extend the mandate of the international emergency forces in southern Lebanon in a way that serves the interests of Lebanon and the South and international peace and security, since UNIFIL's tasks and the provisions of Resolution 1701 entrusted these forces with monitoring and protecting the international border along the Blue Line and correcting it, especially regarding the disputed and reservation points by Lebanon, in addition to the task of raising and exposing the daily Israeli violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
نبيه بريرئيس مجلس النواب اللبناني14 Oct 2026 · العربي الجديد
This meeting comes at an important moment, as the situation on the ground remains complex, with military activities continuing and the population severely affected by them.
جان بيار لاكرواوكيل الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة لعمليات السلام14 Oct 2026 · العربي الجديد
The circumstances resulting from the Israeli attacks and the occupation of southern villages and towns, most of which fall within UNIFIL's mandate, make the presence of the international forces very important, because their withdrawal would create a vacuum with negative repercussions on the security situation in the region, and the region would be devoid of any international monitoring of what is happening there, without ignoring the social, humanitarian, health and educational roles these forces have played, which have made the relationship solid between them and the southern citizens who are comfortable with their presence, trust their role, and insist on their stay in their towns and villages.
جوزاف عونرئيس الجمهورية اللبنانية14 Oct 2026 · العربي الجديد
Within the next two years we will topple Iran and remove Hezbollah
بنيامين نتنياهورئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي14 Oct 2026 · جريدة البلاد
Likewise, the southern suburb of Beirut will be evacuated, terrorist infrastructure there will be struck, and more than a million Shia will become displaced within Lebanon.
يسرائيل كاتسوزير الدفاع الإسرائيلي14 Oct 2026 · العين الإخبارية
If Hezbollah joins Iran in launching an attack on Israel, it will receive a severe blow and will lose more territory in southern Lebanon, in the Nabatieh and Litani River areas, which will become part of Israel's permanent security zone. The Israeli army is ready to carry out the ground operation.
يسرائيل كاتسوزير الدفاع الإسرائيلي14 Oct 2026 · العين الإخبارية
If Iran makes that mistake and tries to attack us, it will face a response it cannot even imagine.
