Nothing protects Lebanon except everyone's commitment to keeping the decision of war and peace and the monopoly on weapons in the hands of the state.
نواف سلامرئيس الحكومة اللبنانية5 days ago · MTV Lebanon
Enough of ties that repeatedly drag Lebanon into the furnace of futile wars, which will only give Israel more pretexts to expand its occupation of the south and persist in destruction, killing and displacement.
نواف سلامرئيس الحكومة اللبنانية5 days ago · MTV Lebanon
It is very regrettable that Lebanese are being misled by talk of the government being lost or confused, as if it is subject to external bets and illusory calculations.
نواف سلامرئيس الحكومة اللبنانية5 days ago · MTV Lebanon

Disagreement over policies is a right, but disagreement over the existence of the state and its authority is not a point of view.. it is a stab at the core of the Lebanese entity.
إيلي محفوضرئيس حركة التغيير5 days ago · MTV Lebanon
Lebanon is not an arena for two camps nor spoils for two axes. Lebanon is one republic.. one state.. and one decision.

War or no war? The Lebanese must not remain hostages of two camps while their homeland can bear only one authority: the Republic and the Constitution.

Israeli movements on the border could reflect a strengthening of offensive and defensive capabilities, and readiness to carry out limited incursions, or to expand existing areas of control, without necessarily constituting evidence of an imminent decision to launch a comprehensive ground operation.
أندريه بو معشرعميد متقاعد5 days ago · MTV Lebanon
But I lean toward the view that the current escalation falls within a strategy of calculated military pressure, and is not a decisive indication of a decision to launch an all-out war, especially since any major expansion of Israeli operations will remain governed by American strategic constraints, given Washington's orientation toward containing the confrontation and producing a political settlement.
أندريه بو معشرعميد متقاعد5 days ago · MTV Lebanon
Not separating this escalation from the political calculations of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, especially after his inability to decisively conclude the Israeli elections and the difficulty of forming a government, with the possibility of returning to new elections.
