President Joseph Aoun reaffirmed ongoing diplomatic efforts to ensure Israel abides by its commitments, urging international stakeholders to uphold their responsibilities.
"We are engaged in contacts at various levels to push Israel to honor the agreement, withdraw within the agreed timeframe, and return the captives," Aoun stated during a meeting with a delegation from the Economic, Social, and Environmental Council.
"The sponsors of the agreement must assume their responsibility in assisting us."
Addressing broader national issues, Aoun praised the success of Lebanese expatriates and questioned why similar achievements could not be replicated at home.
"Lebanese individuals excel abroad, so why shouldn't they do the same in their own country? Differences in opinion are sacred, but conflict is detrimental," the President remarked.
Aoun further stressed the importance of unity and restoring confidence in Lebanon’s institutions.
"Lebanon is not built on a single component; all efforts must be combined to rebuild trust between the state and the people, as well as between Lebanon and the international community," Aoun asserted.
