Rajji from south: Destruction extent increases resolve to liberate land, monopolize arms
Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji on Friday made an inspection visit to south Lebanon aboard a UNIFIL helicopter, in which he assessed the destruction of border villages at the hands of Israel and inspected the Blue Line and the five points occupied by the Israelis.
Rajji also visited UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura on the occasion of the U.N.’s 80th establishment anniversary, lauding the U.N. force’s role in maintaining peace and stability in south Lebanon.
Commenting on “the huge destruction caused by Israeli attacks,” Rajji said what he saw “increases our resolve to liberate the Lebanese land and support the Lebanese Army in its efforts to extend state authority, implement Resolution 1701 and the government’s decision to monopolize arms in the state’s hand and regain the decisions of war and peace.”
