Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has condemned recent Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians, including a drone strike that killed four people in Nabatieh al-Fawqa. The victims included a school principal, her mother, a domestic worker, and a Syrian worker.

“

I reiterate my call to the international community to pressure Israel to respect the ceasefire.

Aoun reiterated his call for the international community to pressure Israel to adhere to a ceasefire. He asserted that Lebanon will not permit any party to negotiate on its behalf, noting that Israel has acknowledged it has no territorial ambitions in Lebanon. "The state's train is in motion, and the decision to restrict weapons will be implemented," Aoun stated, emphasizing the necessity of state authority for the benefit of all Lebanese citizens.

“

I will not accept under any circumstances that anyone negotiate on behalf of Lebanon.

The president also highlighted the urgency of addressing Lebanon's financial and economic challenges. He stressed that stability cannot be achieved by merely waiting for reforms. Aoun emphasized the ongoing importance of enacting laws related to bank restructuring and the financial gap, indicating that these are crucial steps toward national recovery.
