What they said

utmost importance

Dozens of employees, who received generous salaries under huge personal contracts, were working at universities around the world when Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip, and they came to establish the civil structure that is extremely important to Hamas.

The days when prisons were like hotels are over. This is my mandate and this is my policy, and the revolution I brought about in the National Security Ministry I now want to bring about in the Defense Ministry as well

We adhere to the letter of the law, but we give them the absolute minimum. And yes, they are suffering

I am proud that I turned the prisons into a nightmare for saboteurs

I do not want to preempt matters, but the Public Prosecution is ready to execute as soon as the decision is issued

The current exceptional circumstances necessitate holding the vote virtually

There are visits he is making for the sake of the extension and the appeals, to inform everyone of what is happening and to consolidate his position, but that is not due to a rotation between the Sunni and Shiite communities. Saudi Arabia has historically had its role, and I do not know why it is absent or acting from afar, but Turkey has a role in the matter of Mufti Derian.

This is a very important and delicate point, namely a matter of balances that President Berri may undertake to preserve Islamic unity.

What is happening today is due to the absence of the political authorities that once carried weight, particularly since the days of the martyr Rafik Hariri and even during the era of President Saad Hariri. More clearly, if the martyr President Rafik Hariri were present, what happened would not have happened. Today, in the absence of leaders and authorities, matters may have shifted to the Speaker of Parliament, but not in order to create a rotation between Sunnis and Shiites or to redress the grievance of the noble Shiite community politically, religiously and administratively, but to preserve the game of political balances.

Unfortunately, the decision for war was and remains Iranian!

We are against resisting Israel through a military faction like Hezbollah; we are with the state protecting Lebanon.

We warned against the party entering the war, but unfortunately the decision was Iranian and still is.

The anniversary of October 7 is the anniversary of the elimination of Lebanon and the end of a major era of it.

Emergency declarations in Florida and Alabama have been approved to ensure the availability of the federal resources needed to deal with Hurricane Isaias

If we take any step or close the port, let no one blame us.

He has always cared about the fishermen's issues in the mountains and never cares about the fishermen's issues on the coast.

We are about to close Tripoli Port, so that no one will be allowed to enter it until the fishermen obtain their rights. We will also close the Beirut highway until the state recognizes our rights.

Allowing American airlines to operate direct flights to Lebanon.

It constitutes a sign of confidence in the measures taken by the Lebanese state to ensure civil aviation safety, protect air traffic to and from Beirut, and enhance the security of flights linking Lebanon to the countries of the world.

The Lebanese people deserve a sovereign state that protects their rights, returns their savings to them, and puts their future above every militia and every foreign agenda.

Lebanon must now meet this step with concrete measures: disarming Hezbollah, restricting weapons to the state alone, and implementing the long-awaited financial and institutional reforms.

I thank US President Donald Trump for lifting the restrictions imposed on air transport with Lebanon, which paves the way for operating direct flights between our two countries.

My sister, this is a trick

The papers will be revealed, and an earthquake will occur in the negotiations, and Israel must prepare to empty the prisons.

A state that does not hear people's voice in institutions will hear it later in the street. But more dangerous than the protest itself is the loss of hope.

The choice before Lebanon is either to keep managing its crises with patchwork solutions or to move from crisis management to state-building. Even if the war ends tomorrow, even if the Israeli forces withdraw, even if the direct negotiations we did not support succeed, Lebanon will not automatically regain its health.

At this highly complex Lebanese moment, events cannot be approached from a single angle. Lebanon is living a crisis of state before a crisis of government, a crisis of trust before a financial crisis, and a crisis of sovereignty before a border crisis.

MPs are handing the United Nations a memorandum demanding a review of Resolution 2790 and the future of UNIFIL to prevent any security vacuum in the south.
