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.
The demand for what the Energy Ministry needs is not to honor Minister Saddi, but to do what is necessary for the sector's regularity. There must be a move to implement sovereign decisions.
The Lebanese Forces is the largest party participating in the government, and this contributed to the regularity of the state's work and the formation of a new government. But nothing is endless, even though we give the maximum so that things are organized.

This armed group will remain displeased and angry and will threaten every time the state, or part of it, tries to enforce any law that curtails its dominance.
Unless the government moves to implement the decision to disarm Iran's party, Lebanon will remain a state with suspended implementation or its fate will be extinction.
Hezbollah and its allies are seeking to postpone the elections for fear of popular punishment at the ballot box.
You cannot combine an army and a militia, nor can you combine investment and destruction, just as it is impossible to marry water to fire.
They are not expatriates from their homeland as long as they maintain their connection to it through work and giving.
This opportunity may not recur if the state, with its presidents and officials, does not handle it with firmness and wisdom.
Lebanon has a real opportunity to exit the cycle of war and ongoing hostility.
