What they said

Countries of the region should know that while the Islamic Republic of Iran stands fully prepared for battle and its finger is on the trigger, it has also given a strong and rational response to the American side. The ball is now in America's court to avoid war.

We must prevent holding another election; it is possible to form a government without the Joint List.

We cannot bear responsibility for military operations against our Palestinian people.

During my service, I manipulated details published to the media, and I saw how the label 'terrorist' was attached even to innocent Palestinians, and how statements were formulated and tailored to suit the target audience and the goal to be achieved.

I realized the extent of the army spokesperson's control, and how he manipulates the truth problematically, as if it were merely a public relations apparatus, not a body that should be frank with the public.

During my service in the Israeli army spokesperson's office, I not only learned about the reality in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but also about the way the army chooses to present this reality to the public.

The countries of the region should know that just as the Islamic Republic of Iran has its finger on the trigger and is ready for battle, it has also delivered a capable and rational response to the American side, and the ball is now in the American court to prevent the outbreak of war.

Our military and strategic response to any miscalculation by the enemy will be unpredictable, such that we will completely close the page on their miscalculations, without being bound by any geographical restrictions, and with all their material and non-material assets.

The ball is in the United States' court to avoid war

I declare my full solidarity with media figure Diana Fakhouri, and I strongly condemn the threats, intimidation campaigns and abuse she is subjected to by elements, supporters and pens affiliated with Hezbollah. Threatening, accusing of treason, incitement and attempts to silence journalists are rejected and condemned practices, and we will not accept turning Lebanon into a field of intimidation for anyone who expresses an opinion or takes a political stance that the party or its supporters do not like. Hezbollah must bear its responsibility, publicly reject these behaviors, and put an end to those who practice them under its umbrella. We call on the security and judicial authorities to act immediately, pursue everyone who threatens or incites and hold them accountable without exception. Diana Fakhouri, you are not alone. We will not allow threats to become a means of silencing freedom, or free speech to turn into an accusation warranting intimidation.

The South is not a negotiating card

We seek to reach new regional security arrangements away from foreign military presence

Vote as if I were on the ballot

Talks with Saudi Arabia are continuing

The South must not remain an arena for others' wars or a negotiating card in regional conflicts whose decisions its people do not control.

These voices do not express the concern of the people of the South alone, but a national cause that concerns us all.

I join my voice to the voices of our people in the South, these free and frank voices, and I declare my full solidarity with their legitimate national appeals, from the first Nabatieh appeal, to the Jabal Amel appeal, up to the third appeal.

The president and I feel relatively optimistic about the chances of reaching a settlement through negotiations, and we will continue working to achieve that

What is war? War means fighting. Look at World War I and World War II. When was the last time you saw us fighting them?

We are currently in a state of war and have been subjected to military aggression, so any action we take in this framework will be an exercise of our legitimate right to self-defense

We look with optimism at the possibility of reaching a settlement through negotiation

Lebanon cannot be saved while Hezbollah continues to tamper with its security and stability, confiscate its national decision, and impose its will on its institutions and destiny.

I fear that the deadline may have passed and that we are today on the verge of a highly dangerous phase whose price Lebanon and the Lebanese may pay with a comprehensive collapse and a disaster that cannot be contained.

Lebanon had a real opportunity to exit the grip of the militia and restore its state and sovereignty, and the international signals were clear and the door was open to a settlement that saves the country from collapse.. But Hezbollah again chose to manipulate security, bet on the time factor and maneuver, thinking it could waste the rescue opportunity and impose new facts, unaware that international opportunities do not remain open indefinitely.

not limited by geographic constraints

It's not that important. We can do it — literally — in one hour. Well, we can do it whenever we want, and at any time we want.

The General Assembly of the Financial Action Task Force meets three times a year, in February, June and October, while Lebanon's progress in implementing the action plan is subject to technical assessments preceding its meetings.

The main challenge facing Lebanon is not limited to passing laws and legislation, but lies in proving their effective implementation and achieving tangible results, especially at the judicial and supervisory levels.

Lebanon currently tends to remain on the grey list, ruling out that a move to the black list is an imminent danger, but warns in return of declining chances of a rapid exit from this list, due to the stagnation in implementing reforms and achieving the practical results required by the Financial Action Task Force.

Attacking water resources or polluting them with the intent of depriving residents of their use may entail international responsibility and may fall within war crimes when the necessary legal conditions are met.
