The Lebanese Army's performance in implementing the agreement cannot be judged before a verification mechanism is put in place
If you don't want a nuclear weapon, why do you need 60 percent enriched fuel?
I held fruitful talks with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, covering various aspects of the situation in Lebanon and ways to enhance cooperation with the European Union.
The majority of apple farmers are not big merchants. It is no exaggeration to say that the Lebanese apple is like the cedar, so the Ministry of Agriculture must perform its role in this field.
The state does not encourage creating apple-based industries, such as pressing them in factories and selling juices. And everything it does with the international community is an attempt to displace Lebanese farmers from their land.
No serious merchant has asked to this day about the thousands of boxes of apples I have. The problem is land transport and the additional costs represented by the need to change the refrigerated truck between each country and the next, until reaching the Gulf, for security considerations that still exist.
This is nothing less than aiding and abetting a wanted war criminal's evasion of justice. Syrians deserve justice, and this person must be returned to stand trial.
If the information you are reporting is correct, the fact that taxpayers' money is being used to provide a comfortable life for someone linked to the use of chemical weapons against Syrian civilians — and who is alleged to have caused Austin Tice's execution — is disgraceful.
To deal with the proposal with a single national and humanitarian standard, leading to the final closing of the page of civil wars and the achievement of justice and fairness for all.
This file remained excluded because of a veto imposed by the former Syrian regime, despite the existence of internal Lebanese understanding to resolve it.
The situations of the various forces and military personnel who witnessed divisions during the period from 1975 until the 1990s have been settled, with the exception of one group whose cause was neglected under the pretext of dealing with the Palestinians, while the other files were closed and everyone's situations were addressed.
The Israeli army assassinated in the Khan Yunis area in the Gaza Strip earlier this week (Monday), killing Ibrahim Al-Alam, a commander in the military wing of the Hamas movement. Al-Alam infiltrated Israeli territory during the October 7 attack, participated in killing many Israeli civilians, in addition to kidnapping the body of Sergeant Shaked Dahan, who was captured by Hamas.
The goal of the exhibition is not to celebrate old paper, but to spread constitutional culture among young people and remind them that a state founded on a hundred-year-old constitution is alone the guarantor of their freedoms and rights.
The 1926 Constitution was drafted during the mandate, and its authors clearly benefited from French constitutional traditions, especially the parliamentary system of the Third Republic: separation of powers, ministerial responsibility, the role of parliament, and guaranteeing public freedoms. Principles at the heart of French liberal thought also entered the text: freedom of conscience, freedom of opinion, freedom of assembly, and equality before the law. But contrary to what some believe, Lebanon did not import a ready-made constitution. It took from the French experience and added its own experience. Here precisely appears the specificity of our constitution. From the beginning it had to answer a very difficult question: How do we build a modern state in a society of multiple sects and affiliations?
In fact, this ministry has committed itself, as the trustee of national memory, to looking at pivotal events in our history and spreading awareness about them. That is why we commemorated the beginning of the civil war in the presence of the President of the State in an exhibition dedicated to the war that wounded us, and that is why we commemorated the fifth anniversary of the port explosion, when the President of the State and a number of colleagues were also present because it was an event that stirred emotions and killed hundreds of people. Today we commemorate the Lebanese Constitution for the same reason.
It has not adhered, at any moment, to any of the agreements concluded, from Resolution 425 to Resolution 1701 and the November 2024 agreement, up to the tripartite framework agreement
Reaching such a sin is targeting international legitimacy and its UN resolutions, foremost among them Resolution 1701
The peril of reaching a stage where the international emergency force's mandate ends without finding an alternative for it under the UN umbrella
Not completing these works in the first phase does not constitute an obstacle to operations.
Work is proceeding on this basis, and the start of the airport's operation will not depend on the execution of the additional works mentioned in the said letter.
They are not part of the basic contract for operating the airport, nor do they fall within the investor's obligations or the contract concluded with him.
Our responsibility is not only for the school to open its doors, but for it to remain capable of fulfilling its mission, a responsibility that tolerates no delay and accepts no bargaining.
The official school is not protected by an abundance of contracts, but by securing its actual needs; and the rights of teachers and professors are not safeguarded by promises that are hard to keep, but by clear and implementable commitments.
We will not allow some generator owners, traders, or importers to exploit what is happening to make profits at the expense of the people. We have asked the Consumer Protection Directorate to intensify oversight, adhere to the official pricing for generators, and activate violation reports.
Our responsibility is to alleviate the burdens on citizens. Last year, the Lebanese economy achieved 4.2% growth, but the war halted this path, and the contraction is estimated at 6.4% this year.
Economic pressure affects the employee, the retiree, the military, the teacher, and the stakeholder, and you have the right to ask the government what it is doing?
We are working to restore state authority and put it on a path of stability
There should be an international presence in southern Lebanon to preserve security and stability, and talks are ongoing about the format
Lebanon must control all its territory and disarm Hezbollah, and Lebanon's security is tied to the transitional process in Syria
