What they said العلامة الشيخ علي الخطيب ×

A state that does not hear people's voice in institutions will hear it later in the street. But more dangerous than the protest itself is the loss of hope.

The choice before Lebanon is either to keep managing its crises with patchwork solutions or to move from crisis management to state-building. Even if the war ends tomorrow, even if the Israeli forces withdraw, even if the direct negotiations we did not support succeed, Lebanon will not automatically regain its health.

At this highly complex Lebanese moment, events cannot be approached from a single angle. Lebanon is living a crisis of state before a crisis of government, a crisis of trust before a financial crisis, and a crisis of sovereignty before a border crisis.

I hold the president and the prime minister responsible in this regard; we can never accept this or stay silent about it from now on.

The worst authority in Lebanon's history is this authority that conspires against southern Lebanon and against this very sect.

You only talk about weapons, so we ask you: are there solutions if these weapons are handed over?
