Some may say that I went to the international arbitration court and a decision was issued recognizing the other Olympic committee. It is true that I filed an appeal in July 2025, and the decision was issued in 2026 and consisted of 42 pages, but in the final ruling on the last page there was no mention of recognizing Pierre Jalkh's committee; rather, it rejected my appeal.

We are today in a major predicament, but yes there are talks to resolve this crisis at the highest levels. Personally, my resignation exists and I am not clinging to responsibility. Accordingly, the situation requires the resignation of both committees, and then we call for new elections in which we bring together the two conflicting teams, while finding solutions to the legal problems and complaints, but the other side rejects that. If we Lebanese are not in agreement, how can we go and compete abroad before the international community?
