The United States of America, which I represent as your president, should have received the Nobel Peace Prize, but it did not. This is an indelible stain on the record of Norway and those who made such a shameful and embarrassing decision.

Three years of war and Hezbollah is still stubborn, as if the destruction of Lebanon, the displacement of the people of the south, and the demolition of their villages and homes do not concern it.. What victory is there in displacing people and destroying their homes while the party continues its absurd choices in service of Iran? This stubbornness will not exempt it from responsibility.. And the government will not remain a prisoner of waiting.. There is a moment of decision approaching. And a major historic decision must be taken.. Because the continuation of this approach is no longer just a political mistake but a continuous draining of Lebanon and the Lebanese.

This decision comes following President Trump's announcement after his meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun at the White House on July 21, 2026, and the subsequent meeting that brought Prime Minister Nawaf Salam together with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on September 28, 2026. This important step is the fruit of continuous efforts made by the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, the Lebanese Embassy in Washington, and the Lebanese Ministry of Public Works and Transport.

The Lebanese have paid heavy prices for successive wars and crises; they lost lives, livelihoods, homes and savings, and many of our young people lost confidence in their ability to build their future in their homeland.
