What happened yesterday was not a motorcycle rally, but a rehearsal for May 7, through hundreds of organized elements who closed the entrances to Beirut, in a repetition of the scene of the black shirts and the toppling of Saad Hariri's government in 2011, or of the events of May 7, 2008. Protecting Beirut and its people is the responsibility of the Lebanese Army and the security forces, and any leniency will take the country into a dangerous deterioration wanted by Hezbollah, and behind it Iran, at this stage

My message to you today is to be proud of your Lebanese origins. Lebanon will never die. Throughout its six-thousand-year history, armies entered Lebanon and other armies left, but Lebanon remained steadfast and continued to live. Thank you for your support of the ALCC, and thank you for attending with us today. I wish you a pleasant time, full of joy and delight. Enjoy the festival and celebrate together.

We gather today to celebrate our love for dear Lebanon and our commitment to it, and to express our gratitude to America. We meet at a difficult time that Lebanon is going through. Our country has been in a state of war for more than half a century, and today it faces extremely difficult circumstances and existential challenges that threaten its entity and future. Lebanon needs us today more than ever. For this reason, part of the proceeds of this festival will be allocated to support needy Lebanese families and children battling cancer in Lebanon.
