Joseph Aoun: “The state must monopolize the carrying of weapons.”

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

Negotiations with Israel were progressing while reaffirming that Lebanon would not accept a continued Israeli presence on any part of its territory.

This is a flagrant violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and international law that threatens stability in south Lebanon.

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.
