There is no questioning the role of the Army command or the integrity and patriotism of General Rodolphe Heikal; the problem today is inside the Army, not outside it. We recall the statement of the national officers who orbit a certain axis.

The main reason for all of Lebanon's tragedies and its financial collapse is the accumulated trade deficit, whose annual rate was between 15 and 16 billion dollars.

Energy and Water Minister Joe al-Sadi will participate tomorrow in the Cabinet session to present the electricity plan he has worked on, while the rest of the Lebanese Forces ministers will remain in their boycott as long as the Dahr al-Baydar explosives file is not referred to the Judicial Council.

I received the Egyptian Ambassador in Lebanon, Tamim Khallaf, and we discussed ways to enhance industrial cooperation and strengthen trade exchange between Lebanon and Egypt, especially by facilitating the flow of goods exchange between the two countries. I explained to him that Lebanese industries are advanced, in demand abroad, and compete in international markets. I also expressed my wish that Egyptian markets open their doors to Lebanese pharmaceutical products, which enjoy the accreditation of major international companies, especially the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Our markets cannot be open to everyone while others' markets are closed to our industry.

Lebanon still imports more than 70% of the medicines it consumes, despite having advanced factories and competencies that produce medicines to international standards.

When a patient needs medicine, promises mean nothing to him, and he does not wait for conditions to improve. What matters to him is to find a safe and effective medicine, at the right time, and at a price he can afford.

This is how a viable electricity sector is built: a brave decision and real reform. This is how Al-Saddi proves that restoring the state begins when its institutions are the first to submit to its laws, not the last to be exempted from them. Much work... and little talk.

This step complements the electricity sector reform workshop, foremost among which is completing the regulatory authority after long years of obstruction, alongside the administrative and financial reform led by Minister Al-Saddi in his ministry, especially at the level of tax collection and enhancing regular collection.

The bold step taken by the Ministry of Energy to cut electricity from state administrations and institutions that have failed to pay their dues is a brave decision on the path of restoring the state's prestige and breaking the equation of favoritism and leniency that has obstructed accountability for years.

Packaging has become part of the product identity

Because the explosives file was not referred to the Judicial Council, and we cannot wait for the investigation to continue. The party involved has declared itself, and we presented a table of cases that were referred to the Judicial Council a day or two after they occurred, while three weeks have passed since this case.

Would the declaration of a third support war be good or harmful to Lebanon?

We will continue exposing what is hidden, no matter how intense the confrontation and how great the challenges, and we will not compromise on the truth, nor will we yield to falsehood, nor will we raise the white flag as long as there is in this country an oppressed person awaiting justice, and a corrupt person who thinks he is above accountability!

Human capital constitutes one of Lebanon's most prominent competitive advantages.

Lebanon has been able to preserve the distinguished level of education in its universities and academic institutions, and the high competence of its graduates in the fields of engineering, technology and scientific specialties.

You export Lebanon's distinctive industries, namely the food industries. The world has discovered the delicious taste of Mediterranean cuisines, and the Lebanese cuisine has stood out increasingly as the first among them. This distinction is not limited to the spread of Lebanese restaurants abroad, but is also due to the efforts of food industry exporters who work to deliver Lebanese food to every home in Europe, the United States, the Arab Gulf and the rest of the world.

Export constitutes a fundamental pillar for supporting the national economy, as it contributes to bringing foreign currency into the country, creating new job opportunities, keeping Lebanese in their homeland, and limiting their emigration. Therefore, it is time to stop exporting Lebanon's human resources and instead work to keep them in Lebanon. It is the duty of the state and ministers to support the private sector and keep pace with its needs.

Lebanese industrialists, especially in the agricultural and food industries sector, are "true resistance," as they continue production, investment, and export and hold on to their institutions.

He expressed pride in participating in this global exhibition and invited [them] to take pride in the achievements they have made, especially since they carry Lebanon's name high abroad and present the bright image of Lebanon, despite crises, wars, high production costs, and all the other challenges they face.

The delay in implementing the government’s decisions, dealing with the file with excessive sensitivity, laxity in enforcing the law on the ground, and the failure to provide the necessary political cover for the security forces to implement the decisions. All these factors allowed this group, which is outside the law according to the government’s decisions, to persist, retain a surplus of power, and openly challenge the state. But the problem is not in the strength of Hezbollah or the forces of defiance as much as it is in the weakness of the state itself, which is still unable to impose its authority and implement its decisions on everyone.

What has been achieved is not the result of a passing understanding, but the fruit of an integrated vision that Saddi struggled to establish and translate into executive steps, starting with importing gas, passing through building modern power plants, and reaching the adoption of sustainable solutions that end the patchwork logic, cut off the drains of waste and corruption, and restore the confidence of international partners in the state's ability to manage its resources with transparency and responsibility.

The agreement between Lebanon and Qatar cannot be separated from the long reform path undertaken by Minister of Energy and Water Joe Saddi with determination and firmness, through his intensive and continuous meetings with the Qatari side to enhance Qatari investments in the energy sector.

There is a large number of ministers who support our position of securing more supply hours for the Lebanese, and we insist that Electricité du Liban receives the necessary funding to increase the hours.

I received the head of the Southern Suburbs Industrialists Association, Ahmed Hussein Al-Mousawi, and members of the association's administrative board, in the presence of the ministry's Director General Adel Al-Shabab. We discussed the reality of the industrial sector in the southern suburbs, the challenges facing institutions, and work to strengthen their production capacities. We addressed the conditions of the damaged factories, to which I attach great importance. I praised the efforts of the industrialists, their resilience, and their commitment to continue industrial work despite the challenges.

He attaches importance to this issue

If Minister Joe Saddi's step is not met with positivity, then every event has its own conversation.
