What they said

The security forces have never faltered and have not withheld their martyrs from Lebanon, and all the efforts we make are aimed at strengthening the security situation.

Our government has taken decisions to extend the state's authority over all its territory exclusively through its security institutions

We will not allow anyone to undermine confidence in the state

He must be humiliated

We have nothing left but Fairuz

We must understand that whoever tries to get too much may get nothing. This also includes the conscription law issue. It pains me, and I know it pains many others

There is serious work taking place daily to turn the election results into a change government. There are difficulties, but there is also real progress

The decision now depends on Gadi, Naftali and Yair himself

What is the goal of broadcasting false news through the media? If the goal is to target a minister or a government, then we are ready to leave if we are the problem.

Therefore we call on the yellow pens and dissonant throats to stop the celebratory croaking, and to listen to what we say once and for all: our allies, inside and outside, are those who support our project aimed at making Lebanon a sovereign, neutral, independent state governed by an elected authority and a single army with no partner and no guardians over it; otherwise we have no partners or allies.

We repeat to them that the major powers, foremost among them 'the greater devil and its stepchild Israel', have objectively and practically allied with Syria and Iran at the expense of our national interests for about fifty years

The Mumana'in taunt us by saying they defeated this or that team in the American elections or the Israeli elections, on the basis that our existence or non-existence is tied to one of the two sides.

Most perpetrators of pickpocketing and robbery are repeat offenders, and they are known to the Internal Security Forces, and we are working to pursue them.

Pumping exaggerated information means that the goal is elsewhere.

We are studying with Beirut police the locations of crimes, the means and weapons used in them, and the times during which they increase

I understand people's outcry, and we in the operations room are monitoring complaints around the clock

Yesterday, 3 robberies occurred, one of them on the airport road where $800,000 was stolen, and we are following this operation specifically.

Since the beginning of the current month, 8 pickpocketing operations and 4 robbery operations have been recorded across all Lebanese territory.

It has become clear to us that pickpocketing operations have decreased significantly, while robbery operations have continued.

Lebanese pharmaceutical factories can compete in quality with European factories according to the assessment of international institutions, employ thousands of Lebanese, and contribute to the stability and growth of the Lebanese economy.

We must continue encouraging the pharmaceutical industry in Lebanon, give locally manufactured medicine priority over imported medicine, and encourage its export abroad, starting with exempting it from export fees.

The ministry is primarily responsible for citizens' security in all towns, especially Beirut

My arrest is against the law!

American military aid to Israel has always enjoyed bipartisan consensus. Israel has used it to defend itself and confront the enemies who threaten America and the West. Today, Israel enjoys a strong and stable economy. The shift by Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump from providing aid to partnership shows the strength and maturity of our relationship, and its ability to adapt and remain steadfast over time.

I am more optimistic than I was on Wednesday morning, after the election results were announced. There is progress, there is will, and there is serious work being done daily to turn the election results into a change government. There are difficulties, and I do not intend to hide them, but there is also real progress.

Responsible dialogue, based on partnership and respect for the constitution and state institutions, is the most effective path to avoiding the worst, preserving civil peace, and strengthening state sovereignty, far from the logic of rupture and escalation.

The results of the American and Israeli elections, and the repercussions they may carry for Washington's and Tel Aviv's policies toward the region, require the Lebanese to fortify their internal front and unify their national position in the face of upcoming challenges.

The efforts made by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri to reopen channels of communication and dialogue between President of the Republic Joseph Aoun and Hezbollah are of great national importance at this delicate stage, as they constitute an opportunity to contain differences and prevent the country from sliding into an internal confrontation in which Lebanon has no interest.
