President Joseph Aoun’s remarks sparked widespread controversy, with his interview on CNN going viral across social media and media outlets.
Much of the attention focused on his statements regarding Iran and Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem. However, President Aoun also addressed Israeli attacks and the human and material damage they have caused, presenting images of families killed in Israeli airstrikes.
He detailed the losses, noting that “around 3,500 Lebanese have been killed since March 2, a large number of them children at an average of 13 per day, and 20% of Lebanon’s population has become displaced.”
His comments in this regard are considered among his most important messages to the international community about Israeli attacks on Lebanon, delivered through a major American media outlet. However, Hezbollah supporters chose to ignore this part and instead focused on his remarks about Iran, launching a strong attack on Aoun on social media.
