Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, stating that the country would not allow itself to be turned back into a “platform for support wars that have nothing to do with it.”
According to the official news agency NNA, Aoun stated that the firing of rockets from Lebanese territory risks drawing the country into dangerous military conflicts in the region, and that this targets the state’s efforts to keep Lebanon out of conflict.
Aoun also condemned Israel’s attacks on Lebanese territory, warning that turning Lebanon back into a “platform for support wars that have nothing to do with it” would expose the country to new risks.
Aoun emphasized that the responsibility for any negative developments would lie with the parties that disregarded the repeated calls to maintain security and stability, adding that the Lebanese state would not allow such a situation to recur and that the Lebanese people would not accept it either.
