Joseph Aoun: “Negotiations with Israel were progressing while reaffirming that Lebanon would not accept a continued Israeli presence…”

I will hold discussions with several American officials on the situation in Lebanon and ways to strengthen the ceasefire.

There can be no peace without liberating the last inch of our land that is internationally recognized and documented, verified and delineated by the U.N. There can be no peace without the state of Palestine.

I vow to rebuild public institutions, revive the economy, and make the Lebanese army the sole carrier of weapons in the country.

The state must monopolize the carrying of weapons.
