What they said

This is a moment when member states can correct a persistent failure and choose a secretary-general who puts morality and facts ahead of politics. The United Nations does not need a commentator, but leadership

The United Nations needs new leadership, a leadership that does not fear the truth, does not surrender to false narratives, and is able to stand up to militants and antisemitism

No ship can bypass the naval blockade on Iran without our permission

The suffering did not begin or end on that day

It appears that the Emiratis are committing a serious betrayal against Iran

Today our cultural strategy is based on the fact that Lebanon, for Syria, is a partner in the great civilizational act that Syria offered to the civilizations of the Mediterranean, and in the making of Arab consciousness in modern times, through poetry, the novel, thought and the arts, and it is also a partner for Syria in the strategic role assigned to it now and in the future.

If you ask me what is the cultural role in Syria's development and ensuring it does not return to the black pages folded by the Syrian revolution? I will say that those pages have been torn and will never return. You will ask me what are the guarantees? Culture is the guarantee.

I wanted my first appearance in the Lebanese press to be from the platform of the venerable An-Nahar newspaper, in recollection and appreciation of its great historical role in defending the freedom of Syrians, through its writers and intellectuals, and through its supplement, which alone published articles and research by Syrians rejecting injustice and tyranny, when horizons were blocked and vocal cords were cut.

Lebanon must impose its full control over all its territory. This also means moving forward towards disarming Hezbollah.

Extending this mandate would be greatly welcomed, and this is the position of the member states.

Member states (of the Union) have always said that a security vacuum in southern Lebanon cannot be allowed, so everyone is concerned about the end of UNIFIL's mission.

The United States will continue to choke off Hezbollah's funding sources through sanctions, while supporting the legitimate Lebanese government's ability to reconstruct the south. Hezbollah has brought nothing but misery to Lebanon and the people it claims to represent. It ignited a war on behalf of Tehran, causing billions of dollars in damage. Even if this compensation amount were real, it would not be enough.

It can claim whatever it wants, but the money is not there. Hezbollah has received devastating blows, and it caused the suffering of hundreds of thousands of innocent Lebanese. It is now trying to save face through false narratives about money flowing from Iran. Iran's oil exports are under blockade, its currency is collapsing rapidly, and the regime is looking over its shoulder in fear.

Hezbollah has every incentive to promote narratives through anonymous sources.

Our problem with the United States is that every time we negotiate, war is immediately imposed on us.

The missile hit its target and disrupted movement at the airport

Let us see who will vote today for this decision

If the government decides to appoint him today, this means striking the law, striking governance and reform

clear responses to the American proposals through the Qatari mediator in Doha

We are currently reviewing the American side's positions, and I believe we will present our response within the coming few days.

We will continue developing it

It will not replace UNIFIL and will not be limited to the south.

We want Europe to be an essential partner in this new phase, not only in helping Lebanon manage its crises, but also in overcoming them and emerging from them.

It has taken a clear sovereign decision to restrict weapons and the use of force to the hands of the state across all its territory.
