President Joseph Aoun confirmed during his reception of the ambassadors of Denmark, Sweden and Norway on Monday that the ongoing Israeli attacks on the southern suburbs, the south and the Bekaa will not achieve what Israel aims for. He stressed that Lebanon's position is firm, as stated in the Cabinet's decision last week, in terms of Lebanon's full and final commitment to the provisions of the declaration of cessation of hostilities agreed upon in November 2024, in a way that preserves peace and stability, in exchange for Israel's commitment to stop its attacks on all Lebanese territory. Lebanon informed the major powers and the United Nations of its full readiness to resume negotiations and discuss the security points necessary to stop the dangerous Israeli escalation. He explained that the government’s decision regarding the arms restriction will be implemented in accordance with the plan drawn up by the army leadership whenever security conditions permit it, considering that attacking the army or its commander in these delicate and dangerous circumstances is an unacceptable, surprising and suspicious position, because it is part of attempts to undermine the state’s authority and question its capabilities, and is consistent with the goals of those seeking to plunge Lebanon into the ongoing regional war, contrary to the will of the majority of the Lebanese who are tired of wars and cling to the right of the state alone to make decisions about war and peace. For their part, the three ambassadors affirmed their countries' solidarity with Lebanon in this difficult stage and their readiness to provide the necessary assistance to the Lebanese displaced from their villages.
