President Joseph Aoun emphasized before members of the Quintet that “the decision taken by the Council of Ministers yesterday, preserving the Lebanese state’s sole right to control decisions of war and peace and banning military and security activities outside the law, is a sovereign and final decision from which there is no turning back,” noting that “the Council of Ministers has entrusted the army and security forces with implementing it across all Lebanese regions.”
President Aoun requested that the Quintet countries pressure Israel to halt its attacks on Lebanon, reaffirming Lebanon’s full and final commitment to the provisions of the ceasefire declaration, which preserves peace and stability, as well as Lebanon’s full readiness to resume negotiations on this matter with civilian participation and international supervision.
He added: “Lebanon relies heavily on the support of the Quintet countries, which have previously stood by us and played a key role in halting security deterioration and ending the presidential vacuum. They have continued supporting the restoration of constitutional institutions to full functionality, showing care for Lebanon’s stability and safety, based on the firm belief that the stability of the region depends on the stability of Lebanon.”
He concluded, revealing that “yesterday’s missile launches toward the occupied territories came from outside the southern Litani area, where the Lebanese army is fully deployed and carrying out its role, both in this area and in other regions of Lebanon.”
