The war deprived Lebanon of a precious opportunity to begin the path of economic and financial recovery; the economy had barely caught its breath before the war struck it and turned the scene upside down again
More than one million people were displaced at the peak of the last war, 250,000 of them are still displaced, while the residents of more than 75 villages and towns are still unable to return to their homes and livelihoods
Certainly more than $20 billion, and their total cost may exceed $27 billion when the calculation of the 2026 war is completed
the most important and most valuable element
It is forbidden to grant power to such a person who enters Al-Aqsa Mosque with pride and contempt, in the face of all the greats of Israel
There is no way but negotiations, but they must secure Lebanon's rights.
The example of he who digs a hole for his brother and falls into it applies to them; they spent 12 years digging for us in this file, but today we saw when they took over how we went backwards, especially since there are factories halted from work.
The solution to the electricity file is not the sit-in of Energy Minister Joe Saddi, and this position did not comfort us as long as the result is not securing electricity.
Netanyahu submitted documents to the State Comptroller that do not contain the complete full truth about October 7; rather, he submitted half-truths.

Netanyahu was aware of everything; no intelligence information was hidden from him, and he read all reports and security assessments.
Nothing is guaranteed in the south, and the bet must remain on the state

Israeli army forces operating in the southern Gaza Strip spotted yesterday (Wednesday) a Gazan crossing the Yellow Line and attempting to sabotage operational infrastructure, in a manner that posed a direct threat. Immediately upon spotting him, Israeli army forces targeted and killed him, with the aim of removing the threat.
As for what we are witnessing today of reopening the discussion on the election law, it must not under any circumstances become an entry point for wasting time or a new pretext for delaying the electoral deadline. This Council extended its own term under the pretext of force majeure and exceptional circumstances. Today, with those circumstances gone, no one has the right to act as if the extension has become an open mandate from the Lebanese people to redraw the rules of the political and electoral game to suit the interests of this or that party.
The announcement by Energy and Water Minister Joe Saddi that he is refraining from attending Cabinet sessions should constitute a serious warning to the entire government, because the Lebanese should not pay the price of obstructing reform in the electricity sector.
What has been happening recently in the electricity file is no longer acceptable under any pretext.
