Aoun: Lebanon is fine, no return to rhetoric of war

President Joseph Aoun said Thursday that Lebanon is “at a pivotal crossroads, which might be fateful,” adding that “our unity, cooperation and solidarity are essential in order for us to confront all challenges.”

“The lethal mistake that the Lebanese committed in the past was relying on foreign forces against local parties and we witnessed the repercussions of this matter. I want to rely on my partner and brother inside the country against all foreign forces,” Aoun said in a Baabda meeting with Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Daryan.

“Lebanon is fine and there will be no return to the rhetoric of war,” the president added.
