MP Michel Moawad wrote on his X account:

"Blessed are the peacemakers… Welcome, Your Holiness, the Pope of Peace. Welcome to the land of holiness, where the Christian presence is not merely an existence, but a deeply rooted role and testimony. Welcome to Lebanon, which longs for peace, for turning the page on wars, tutelage, and occupations, to become a stable and prosperous homeland for all its people, protected by a sovereign, free, and independent state governed by the rule of law.”
