What they said

The tours of the Syrian chargé d'affaires focus on establishing state-to-state and government-to-government relations, meaning that Syria, through its president Ahmed al-Sharaa and all officials, recognizes that Lebanon is a sovereign country, and we deal on this basis, unlike what used to happen previously.

The movement of the Syrian chargé d'affaires in Lebanon is important and positive and in the interest of both countries, unlike what used to happen previously. More clearly, there are old residues from Hezbollah's incursions into the government and the state, which affected these relations and raised the level of representation to an ambassador, but that will be later when ambassadors are exchanged. Therefore, Lebanon, like Syria, is heading toward an extremely positive relationship, and the Syrian chargé d'affaires in Lebanon has important relations with all Lebanese parties and communicates with everyone.

Relations have become equal between the two states, the two governments and the relevant ministers, unlike during the Assad regime. Thus this relationship has become between two sovereign states, and there is communication at all levels. There will be interaction in the coming days regarding the signing of agreements between the relevant ministers.

Any American adventure will face a response greater in strength than all previous confrontations.

Wait and see what we will do to Iran; we will teach them a lesson and they will never possess a nuclear weapon.

A work meeting on the water situation in Koura district, in the presence of MP Fadi Karam, Director General of the North Lebanon Water Establishment Khaled Obeid and several board members. I presented energy, water and sanitation affairs with a municipal delegation that included: the head of Al-Jdeideh - Al-Bouchrieh - Al-Sad municipality, August Bakhos; the head of Al-Fanar municipality, Michel Salameh; the head of Roumieh municipality, Hanna Zainoun; the head of Ain Saadeh municipality, Maurice Asmar; and the head of Al-Mansourieh municipality, Fouad El-Hajj.

The circumstances resulting from the Israeli attacks and the occupation of southern villages and towns, most of which fall within UNIFIL's area of operations, make the presence of the international forces extremely important, because their withdrawal would create a vacuum with negative repercussions on the security situation in the region, in addition to the absence of any international oversight of what is happening there.

Lebanon is committed to keeping UNIFIL, given the importance of the role it has played since the start of its mission until today, and the sacrifices made by its members, officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers.

To eliminate this entire system, we must topple this regime.

If the opposition wins, it will establish a Palestinian state and withdraw from Lebanon and Gaza, and will not take any action against Iran.

What happened in the West Bank is a miracle (..) The area that was supposed to become a Palestinian state will not become one today, it will not happen, because we will not allow it.

In the next two years we will topple Iran and remove Hezbollah

The villages of the border strip feel that UNIFIL is part of their social fabric. There is more than one question mark over our fate: will the convoys be affected? And who will fill the security void? Even our living conditions will be affected. Of course, they are peacekeepers and their departure will have repercussions.

UNIFIL's departure causes a vacuum. Our fate is unknown. UNIFIL has always been a factor of security reassurance and a source of livelihood.

When the international force was established and sent to the south under Resolution 425, that was for three objectives: to verify the Israeli withdrawal, to achieve international security and peace, and to help the Lebanese Army extend its authority. Later, under Resolution 1701, the obligation of extending Lebanese sovereignty over the entire territory was added, so that there is no authority other than the state's authority and its legitimate forces. But now that Resolution 2790 has come to announce the start of reducing its numbers and its withdrawal, it has removed one obligation from a long list.

Lebanese diplomacy must not be subjected to political calculations

The U.S. central bank may need to raise interest rates again this year as part of its efforts to curb inflation.

I have not decided yet

There is great flabbiness

The solution is vision and politics

The nature of these imports suggests it is possible that the Houthis have already begun manufacturing these missiles or that they are working to develop the necessary capability.

These options remain on the table, and what is required is to reach a formula that serves Lebanon's interest and enhances the chances of stability

The situation in the south remains complex amid continued military activities and the heavy impact on the population

Kamel arrived in Israel before the attack, but he did not meet him because he was taking part at the time in a memorial ceremony for Israeli soldiers.
