We are prepared for all those scenarios, I hope we will not have to resort to them, but I can say one thing: Israel will not allow - and I will not allow - Iran to possess nuclear weapons, and as long as I serve as prime minister, Iran will not possess nuclear weapons
If Iran makes that mistake and tries to attack us, it will face a response it cannot even imagine
We proved, through a previous reply from the prime minister and the finance minister, that the funder did not request the cancellation, but rather asked for confirmation of Lebanon's desire to continue the projects, which led to the collapse of the government's draft.
As a continuation of the political misfortune, the government tried to pass a draft law in the joint committees to cancel 3 loans, including the Bisri Dam loan and others, on the pretext that the funding party no longer wished to do so.
I opened the shop, took goods worth my money, and left
Just look at the numbers. A government cannot be formed without them.
My position is that I prefer a government headed by Gadi Eisenkot with Likud, a Zionist government that crosses camps, in order to replace Netanyahu and this failed government.
Lieberman says he will be prime minister. I look at the numbers and I understand they are doing some kind of combination. Otherwise, how will he become prime minister with a relatively small number of seats compared to a large party?
If it errs and tries to corner us, it will receive a response it cannot even imagine. We are prepared for all these scenarios and I hope we will not need them.
We have completed 90% of the work, and we must finish the mission. In the coming two years we will eliminate Hamas and Hezbollah once and for all and topple the Iranian regime.
We will not withdraw from the security zones. If Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack against Israel, it will receive a severe blow and will lose additional areas in southern Lebanon and around Nabatieh and the Litani, which have become part of the permanent security zone of the State of Israel. The Israeli army is ready to carry out the maneuver.
There is an understanding that without a ground move by the Americans, there is no chance for anything different or new. Repeating the same approach before the US elections will bring Trump a political disaster. We must take into account the possibility of miscalculation. The Iranians may believe that Israel is about to attack, and they will try to preempt it.
We are with you… and we believe in you.
Lebanon is not a destiny condemned to repeat the past, but a possibility that the new generation can contribute to achieving through awareness, participation, and the daily practice of citizenship.
The School of Citizenship is not a one-year project, nor a passing activity, nor an initiative tied to a specific circumstance. The School of Citizenship is a culture of building bridges, a culture of building peace, a culture of respecting difference, and a culture of building the human being.

Full solidarity with Her Excellency Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad, who is playing an important national and diplomatic role in a delicate and fateful phase that Lebanon is going through.
The referral of the complaint against Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad to the military court is unacceptable, and constitutes a dangerous precedent that undermines the independence of diplomatic work. Lebanese diplomacy must not be subject to political calculations. What is required is protecting institutions, not intimidating them.
We have no vengeful goal. There is a specific incident that requires investigation. If it is true, the prosecution must charge her because the act attributed to her, assuming it is true, is outside the scope of the negotiation she is tasked with under a mandate from the President of the Republic; rather, it is a side matter that constitutes a violation of the law on boycotting Israel.
very soon
I know he wants that, but the decision is not in his hands
In my opinion, this (attack on Iran) is not suitable for us
The European mission will absolutely not replace the UN mission, and there can be no talk of a European force replacing the international force.
The basic idea behind the presence of the European force, whatever its form, scope of work, powers and limits of movement, is not limited to field, operational and logistical aspects, but is essentially connected to the continuation of European support for Lebanon, accompanying the Lebanese state in completing its path toward implementing international resolutions, and supporting the diplomatic path it follows to restore its sovereignty and authority.
We do not yet have much data on the nature of the proposed European mission and the tasks it might undertake, but what we understood is that there is communication and discussions among European countries about a specific formula to support Lebanon, without its details having been fully clarified to us.
If this plan is approved on this basis, there will be a big problem. We expressed this before the MPs and informed them that we will resort to daily moves if it is approved.
If the increase is paid via card, that is not the core of the problem, because the depositor can use it in supermarkets, pharmacies and elsewhere. But the big problem is that these amounts be deducted from the first $100,000 the depositor is supposed to receive in cash.
We heard that the $200 increase in withdrawals may be conditional on deducting these amounts from the first $100,000 to be paid to depositors, but we informed the MPs that this is rejected, because we are working to raise the $100,000 ceiling so that it is the first payment to depositors in cash, not to have it reduced.
The complaint should have been dismissed
