Updated on
ai generated text

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has pledged to do "whatever it takes" to prevent further conflict and has urged Iran to refrain from interfering in Lebanon’s affairs. Israel has carried out strikes on roughly 40 sites in southern Lebanon following renewed hostilities, while Hezbollah has fired rockets at Israeli troops and claimed new attacks.

  1. LB
    Joseph Aoun
    1. They are using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in their negotiation with the United States. It's unacceptable.
    2. Hezbollah must understand that (there is) no other way but to sit and talk, no other way to solve this problem and to save what's left except through negotiation and diplomacy.
    3. It's not your country, it's our country... It's not your job to interfere into our country.
    4. I prefer negotiations over wars. I don't want my children … and I don't want the people in Lebanon to live the same hardship.
    5. Hezbollah is not an objective you can see… it's an idea.
    6. They are Lebanese people. They are not Naim Qassem's people.
    7. If you are not, you will never live in peace, safety and security.
    8. We are ready, we are willing, we are committed (to negotiations to end the war).
    9. You are not trying to help us … the people of Lebanon are paying the price … for the sake of your own interest.
    10. We are fed up and we want to live in peace.
  2. LB
    Nawaf Salam
    1. We are the people of a sovereign nation that refuses to serve as a mailbox for the messages of others or as an open battlefield for their wars.
    2. Have mercy on our south, stop treating it and its people as merely a bargaining chip to improve the terms of your negotiations.
