This is our last chance and we must seize it to bring about real change

Whoever protects killers is a partner

Whoever protects the killers is a partner in the crime. There is no bargaining over blood, no settlements that obscure the truth, and no impunity.

We support the prime minister's position and demand the pursuit of everyone who carried out, incited, planned, and provided protection, without immunities or red lines.

Beirut is not a stage for killers, and we will not accept turning it into an arena for settling scores. The crime of Ahmed Al-Alwani's murder is a blatant assault on the capital's security and state sovereignty.

We ask the government for guarantees

In October 2025, we submitted an official letter to Dar al-Fatwa in which we pledged to rebuild the Al-Hassanain Mosque (Masjid al-Tawba) at our own expense, in service of the people of Beirut and to preserve the capital’s religious and heritage legacy. After more than a year without a response, we ask Dar al-Fatwa: What prevents responding to this initiative and beginning the procedures to implement it? We attach a copy of our letter, renew our full commitment to this pledge, and look forward to cooperation that translates into practical steps restoring the mosque’s role and status and meeting the aspirations of Beirut’s residents, based on our shared responsibility to serve the city and preserve its identity.

I also highly valued the historical role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its firm positions in supporting Lebanon, its people and its legitimate institutions, affirming that Lebanese-Saudi relations constitute a solid strategic partnership based on trust and common interests.

On the anniversary of the Taif Agreement, I affirmed our adherence to this agreement as a charter of national concord and a fundamental pillar for building the state and preserving Lebanon's unity, sovereignty and Arab identity.

I was pleased to meet His Excellency the Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon, Dr. Fahd Al-Dosari, where we exchanged views on a number of issues related to Lebanese affairs and current regional developments.

All appreciation to the State of Qatar, its Emir, government and people, for standing by Lebanon. Our country today needs practical steps that revive its economy and strengthen confidence in its future.

We value the sisterly State of Qatar's continued support for Lebanon, and we welcome the ongoing talks to develop the electricity sector and address the energy crisis that has burdened the Lebanese and their economy for years. We hope these talks will soon translate into clear agreements and practical, sustainable projects that contribute to improving electricity supply and easing the burden on citizens.

Full solidarity with Her Excellency Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad, who is playing an important national and diplomatic role in a delicate and fateful phase that Lebanon is going through.

It is not against our people from the Shiite sect, nor against the aid they deserve.

They are our people, and their pain is our pain.

No sovereignty for a state that does not monopolize weapons and does not impose its authority over the movement of funds

Lebanon needs one state, one legitimate weapon, and a law applied to everyone without exception.

There is no sovereignty for a state that does not monopolize weapons and does not impose its authority over the movement of money. A state within a state cannot be accepted, neither militarily nor financially.

Hezbollah's announcement of allocating large sums of money to shelter affected families raises serious questions about the sources of these funds, how they are brought into Lebanon, transferred and distributed outside official financial frameworks.

The explosives issue is no longer an isolated security incident. After the seizure of the Dahr al-Baydar shipment, the Lebanese Army's announcement that it seized about 200 additional kilograms of explosives on the Lebanese-Syrian border confirms the gravity of the security challenges facing the country. Building on the parliamentary question I submitted to the government regarding the Dahr al-Baydar explosives, I call on His Excellency the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister to initiate an urgent extraordinary Cabinet session dedicated to the security situation, in the presence of the relevant security chiefs, to take firm executive decisions to secure the borders, prevent the transfer of explosives and weapons outside state authority, pursue the parties involved and reveal who stands behind them, and hold those responsible accountable in accordance with the law. The gravity of these facts requires moving from investigations and statements to tangible security decisions and measures. The security of the Lebanese is not an ordinary administrative file, and state sovereignty tolerates no negligence or delay.

The gravity of these facts requires moving from investigations and statements to concrete security decisions and measures. The security of the Lebanese is not an ordinary administrative file, and the sovereignty of the state does not tolerate any laxity or delay.

The door to a stronger Lebanese-American partnership, strengthens ties with our expatriates, and provides new opportunities for the Lebanese economy

What multiple media reports have revealed about the seizure of large quantities of explosives in Dahr al-Baydar, amid suspicions that those arrested are linked to Hezbollah, is an extremely dangerous case that tolerates no negligence or cover-up. We demand that the government and the security and judicial agencies reveal the full truth, from the source of the explosives to their destination and the parties involved in transporting them. We will submit a formal parliamentary question to the government to follow up this case and hold those responsible accountable in accordance with the law. The security of the Lebanese is a red line, and there will be no weapons, no explosives and no security decision outside the authority of the state.

From condemnation to accountability, and from solidarity in words to actual positions and actions

It can no longer tolerate being satisfied with statements of condemnation and denunciation

The necessary legal measures to classify the Houthi group as a terrorist organization, following the example of a number of countries that have taken this step

The Lebanese people deserve a sovereign state that protects their rights, returns their savings to them, and puts their future above every militia and every foreign agenda.

Lebanon must now meet this step with concrete measures: disarming Hezbollah, restricting weapons to the state alone, and implementing the long-awaited financial and institutional reforms.

I thank US President Donald Trump for lifting the restrictions imposed on air transport with Lebanon, which paves the way for operating direct flights between our two countries.
