The explosives issue is no longer an isolated security incident. After the seizure of the Dahr al-Baydar shipment, the Lebanese Army's announcement that it seized about 200 additional kilograms of explosives on the Lebanese-Syrian border confirms the gravity of the security challenges facing the country. Building on the parliamentary question I submitted to the government regarding the Dahr al-Baydar explosives, I call on His Excellency the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister to initiate an urgent extraordinary Cabinet session dedicated to the security situation, in the presence of the relevant security chiefs, to take firm executive decisions to secure the borders, prevent the transfer of explosives and weapons outside state authority, pursue the parties involved and reveal who stands behind them, and hold those responsible accountable in accordance with the law. The gravity of these facts requires moving from investigations and statements to tangible security decisions and measures. The security of the Lebanese is not an ordinary administrative file, and state sovereignty tolerates no negligence or delay.

The gravity of these facts requires moving from investigations and statements to concrete security decisions and measures. The security of the Lebanese is not an ordinary administrative file, and the sovereignty of the state does not tolerate any laxity or delay.

The demand of Energy Minister Joe Saddi to resolve the electricity crisis has not been met, because Finance Minister Yassin Jaber is stuck at the point of lack of funds and does not look at the state's account at Banque du Liban.

The decision to resign by Energy Minister Joe Saddi has not been taken, and I am not talking about a resignation at the present time, but about solutions for the government because its stability is threatened by the crises, and it must find solutions to preserve its stability.
