Lebanon is not an Iranian province, and the Lebanese are not subjects of anyone
not an arena for settling regional accounts
Lebanon's sovereignty and the independence of its national decision are not subject to bargaining or negotiation
We are in a battle over the right of the state and the right of the Lebanese to live in peace
Lebanon is not a card in Tehran's calculations
And I say to Hezbollah: Be rational, for you have not left yourselves any outlet. Calculate the line of retreat; excess force protects no one, and cannot continue at the expense of the state, the dignity of the Lebanese, and their freedoms.
I also declare my full solidarity with Naim and the media body in the face of the barbaric behavior that targets freedom of opinion and the media, and strikes the prestige of the state and the law.
I condemn the militia attack to which media figure Rami Naim was subjected, and I stress the necessity of immediate judicial action to arrest and prosecute the attackers, and to put an end to the logic of intimidation and excess force.

Wretched are these days! And tomorrow, the one who waits will soon see
Is this how the republic is built in the new Lebanese way?
Congratulations on the republic of non-charter, the republic of revenge, the republic of weapons, and the republic of drugs!
Today's greetings and congratulations should be directed to Lebanon's scandals! Congratulations to you on the republic of non-consensus, the republic of gloating, the republic of weapons, and the republic of drugs! Is this how the republic is built in the new Lebanese way? Woe to these days! And tomorrow is near for those who wait.

This case is a real test for the prestige of the state and the credibility of its institutions.
The time has come to put a definitive end to a reality in which Hezbollah imposes its weapons and decisions on the Lebanese state, and links part of the national decision to the Iranian project.
The seizure of a large shipment of explosives, including the highly explosive TNT and C4, at one of the Internal Security Forces checkpoints, being transported from the Bekaa to the southern suburbs, and the arrest of two people linked to this shipment, constitute a highly dangerous development that requires the utmost firmness and accountability.
Tripoli deserves the state's attention and the responsibility of its institutions, and radical solutions worthy of its people, not temporary measures that bring the crisis back to square one after a short while.
It is no longer acceptable for Tripoli to remain at the mercy of the waste crisis, or for its people to be left to face health and environmental risks that threaten their lives and dignity.
We commend the decision of the Tripoli Municipal Council, headed by Dr. Abdul Hamid Karameh, in cooperation with the head of the Union of Fayhaa Municipalities, Engineer Wael Zamrouli, to work on reopening the landfill and removing the accumulated waste from the city's streets.
The dignity of Dar al-Fatwa, its prestige, and the unity of the Sunni sect are red lines that no one may cross or tamper with
We reject this campaign clearly and firmly, and we call for it to be stopped immediately
No human is ever permanent in their position
We believe in true, equal and full national partnership, and we extend our hands to all Lebanese to build one sovereign, free and independent state whose decision is in Beirut, not in any other capital.
We say to him clearly: You are not a guardian over Lebanon, nor does your party have a mandate to reduce the homeland and its people to your political and regional project.
On the anniversary of Hassan Nasrallah's assassination, Sheikh Naim Qassem appeared to us yesterday as if he were a guardian over the Lebanese and Lebanon, forgetting that Lebanon is a pluralistic homeland with equal partners in citizenship, and that it has no subjects of a party or an axis.
