President of the Republic Issues a Firm Message

In a strongly worded statement, President Joseph Aoun expressed his strong condemnation of the Israeli aggression on the outskirts of the Lebanese capital, Beirut. He affirmed that "this blatant violation of an international agreement, as well as the fundamentals of international, UN, and humanitarian laws and resolutions, on the eve of a sacred religious occasion, is clear proof of the perpetrator's rejection of the requirements for stability, settlement, and just peace in our region. It is a message sent by the perpetrator of these atrocities to the United States of America and its policies and initiatives, first through Beirut’s mailbox and the blood of its innocent civilians. Lebanon will never submit to this."
