What they said

It is clear that Eisenkot wants to expand the Abraham Accords, especially with Saudi Arabia, but the Kingdom links the normalization issue to the rights of the Palestinians, the future of Gaza and the West Bank, and the establishment of a Palestinian state, which Eisenkot rejects categorically, as he currently does not support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

There will be no peace in Lebanon with Eisenkot if Hezbollah continues on its course, or in its backing of Iran if it is subjected to Israeli military strikes. Eisenkot views the party as a strategic threat, and I believe he may be ready to open political channels with the Lebanese state if Hezbollah's weapons are withdrawn or completely destroyed, but there are no guarantees so far that he will accept the Lebanese conditions for reaching a peace treaty before resolving the Hezbollah dilemma.

The Israeli elections produced a complex political scene. Despite Eisenkot being tasked, this does not mean that forming a government has become certain. His success in removing Netanyahu and forming a government also does not mean he will lead a major shift in Israeli policy toward Middle Eastern countries, or that he will work to push toward peace. Despite belonging to the centrist current, he is not necessarily a figure who calls for a comprehensive settlement with the Palestinians or Arab states.

It is the backbone of the homeland.

We are free.

We exchanged the best wishes with Mr. Jumblatt and thanked him for his contributions to Lebanese society. We are very happy to be in Lebanon; Turkey holds great affection for this country and wishes it prosperity, stability and peace.

If you cancel the South's loan, we will cancel Bcharri's loan.

The best answer is that we are free.

They told me electricity and loans... then sort it out; everyone does whatever they want.

I do not know whether the state wants to retreat from affirming what is already established in the laws and the constitution, and as for me, I will not accept raising the matter at all.

The UN umbrella is a double-edged sword; it internationalizes Israel's withdrawal obligations instead of leaving them subject only to the American guarantee. But at the same time it internationalizes Lebanon's obligations regarding the monopoly on arms and subjects them to stricter international oversight.

The nature of the mission that will be assigned to these forces, given that verifying disarmament is a more interventionist task than traditional support for the army. This may require clearer rules of engagement, and this touches the principle of host-state consent. Reports also indicate Israeli rejection of an international force including French military personnel. They also indicate that Resolution 1701 has become, in Washington's view, a thing of the past, and that the framework agreement, which should establish direct communication between the two armies, has replaced it.

Resolution 1701 includes clear provisions and has a legal dimension, unlike the framework agreement sponsored by the United States, which provides for negotiations to implement each of its clauses; therefore merging the two will be difficult... Add that in the framework agreement there is no mention of foreign forces to implement it; there is mention of understandings between Lebanon and Israel, and there is a military appendix that speaks of a step by Lebanon in exchange for a step by Israel.

Electricité du Liban needs one fuel ship per month to meet production requirements.

The arrears that Electricité du Liban is working to collect amount to about $248 million, sums accumulated over recent years, with varying delay periods from one institution to another.

The power cut measures, which began on November 2, included all public institutions and departments that failed to pay, with the exception of government hospitals. The institution remains committed to its decision, and power has not been restored to entities that have not paid their dues or committed to pay on specific dates.

There is no longer any need for negotiation because what you put in the framework agreement gave Israel everything it wants and nothing remains for you, and the political authority's taking this path is all free concessions to the enemy.

We have two options: either we surrender or we fight, and we fight. It is true that fighting entails losses, but with surrender nothing remains. Therefore the best path is resistance.

There is no exclusivity for the resistance's weapons, no control, no ban and no disarmament, under the ceiling of occupation.

The armed forces of the Islamic Republic have reached a level of parity, and in some areas even a level of military superiority over the enemies... Despite the enemy's continuous bombardment, the brave and courageous air and space fighters of the Islamic Republic of Iran stood firm on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives at the launch platforms in defense of Islamic Iran.

The enemy was deluded, thinking that by assassinating the leader of the revolution, the country's leaders and its scientists, and attacking industrial and military infrastructure, it would bring down the Islamic system. But this military aggression did not lead to the fall of the Islamic system; rather, the Americans today at the Strait of Hormuz are on the verge of collapse and destruction.

Sixteen American bases in the region, which were tasked with surveillance, reconnaissance, operational and intelligence planning against the Islamic Republic of Iran, were completely destroyed in the third imposed war... And with the acquisition of new equipment, distant American bases have also become within Iran's circle of targets.

He does not need permission from the opposition to decide on new military operations

It shows the Council's determination to take decisive action against the reckless attacks carried out by the Houthis

We don't need a deal with Iran. Those days are long gone. We got their money, hundreds of billions of dollars, and we controlled their strait!

If Israel is forced to attack Iran, the goal will be to overthrow the regime

Very unlikely

Netanyahu does not need the opposition's approval to make decisions on new military operations.

Turkey will always remain by Lebanon's side and will remain keen to be a force for good and to play a positive and constructive role in supporting this friendly country and its neighborhood.

We are very happy to be in Lebanon and send a greeting of love to the Lebanese people, for whom we pray for prosperity and peace. Turkey is a neighbor and friend of Lebanon and will always be present for our brothers and sisters living in Lebanon, and we want to see Lebanon prosperous and stable.
