Congratulations to the Lebanese University. Congratulations to Professor Bassam Badran.
Those interested in the Lebanese University will know, and the day will come when they acknowledge, that giving its successful president a chance for a second term is a fundamental reason for its revival.
When the prime minister says there will be no Palestinian state here, but he grants legitimacy to its establishment as in the 21-point plan, he is in practice saying one thing and doing another
He will go down in history as the founder of the Palestinian state
Either the right or Palestine
With Israel or with Hamas?
We are giving ourselves a chance to compete at the international level
would be very much welcomed
cannot allow a security vacuum in southern Lebanon
Lebanon, for its part, has taken a clear sovereign decision to restrict weapons and the use of force to the hands of the state alone across all its territory. This is an essential choice for restoring sovereignty, entrenching stability and rebuilding strong and capable state institutions.
Reaching such a sin is targeting international legitimacy and its UN resolutions, foremost among them Resolution 1701.
There is an interconnection between the stability of Lebanon, the stability of Europe and regional stability.
We want Europe to be an essential partner in this new phase, not only in helping Lebanon manage its crises, but also in overcoming and emerging from them.
Lebanon, for its part, has taken a clear sovereign decision to restrict weapons and the use of force to the hands of the state alone over all its territory. This is an essential choice for restoring sovereignty, consolidating stability, and rebuilding strong and capable state institutions. We rely on the European Union's continued standing by Lebanon and its legitimate institutions to achieve this national goal, and we also rely on its support to end the ongoing Israeli occupation of Lebanese territory and ensure the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The European Union is ready to provide the necessary assistance to Lebanon, especially to the army, the Internal Security Forces, and the bodies concerned with social and humanitarian aspects.
Education is not a hobby, nor a corridor that is opened and closed whenever we please.
Societies that do not keep pace with development are disdained by history.
This is a moment when member states can correct a persistent failure and choose a secretary-general who puts morality and facts ahead of politics. The United Nations does not need a commentator, but leadership
The United Nations needs new leadership, a leadership that does not fear the truth, does not surrender to false narratives, and is able to stand up to militants and antisemitism
No ship can bypass the naval blockade on Iran without our permission
The suffering did not begin or end on that day
It appears that the Emiratis are committing a serious betrayal against Iran
Today our cultural strategy is based on the fact that Lebanon, for Syria, is a partner in the great civilizational act that Syria offered to the civilizations of the Mediterranean, and in the making of Arab consciousness in modern times, through poetry, the novel, thought and the arts, and it is also a partner for Syria in the strategic role assigned to it now and in the future.
If you ask me what is the cultural role in Syria's development and ensuring it does not return to the black pages folded by the Syrian revolution? I will say that those pages have been torn and will never return. You will ask me what are the guarantees? Culture is the guarantee.
I wanted my first appearance in the Lebanese press to be from the platform of the venerable An-Nahar newspaper, in recollection and appreciation of its great historical role in defending the freedom of Syrians, through its writers and intellectuals, and through its supplement, which alone published articles and research by Syrians rejecting injustice and tyranny, when horizons were blocked and vocal cords were cut.
Lebanon must impose its full control over all its territory. This also means moving forward towards disarming Hezbollah.
Extending this mandate would be greatly welcomed, and this is the position of the member states.
Member states (of the Union) have always said that a security vacuum in southern Lebanon cannot be allowed, so everyone is concerned about the end of UNIFIL's mission.
The United States will continue to choke off Hezbollah's funding sources through sanctions, while supporting the legitimate Lebanese government's ability to reconstruct the south. Hezbollah has brought nothing but misery to Lebanon and the people it claims to represent. It ignited a war on behalf of Tehran, causing billions of dollars in damage. Even if this compensation amount were real, it would not be enough.
