Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants, Youssef Raji, affirmed that “Lebanon’s priority is to secure stability,” noting that the Lebanese want to restore Lebanon to being a cultural, tourism, and economic center in the region, pointing out that this will not be achieved in light of the presence of a weapon parallel to the legitimate weapon. Raji described the government's decision to confine arms to the state as "brave," stressing that "Lebanon's stability and prosperity require ending the occupation and Hezbollah handing over its weapons," noting that the implementation of the government's decisions is progressing. “We want peace with all our neighbors,” he said. He stressed "the need for Iran to stop interfering in Lebanese affairs," considering that "the Lebanese army is the only hope." He also praised American aid to the military establishment, hoping for this support to continue. Raji reiterated the government's adherence to direct negotiations under American sponsorship, considering them "the only way to recover the lands and return the people to their villages." In response to a question about the importance of the deployed people, Raji stopped at their “absolute support for Lebanon wherever they are,” pointing to the migration of skilled people and youth, stressing that their return requires rebuilding the state.
