Naji Hayek on Foreign Policy Decisions

The article addresses Lebanon's foreign policy situation, where political activist Naji Hayek emphasizes that media statements alone are not sufficient. Instead, the policies decided by the Council of Ministers and implemented by official institutions must be clear and effective. He criticizes the lack of coordination and comprehensiveness in Lebanon’s stances toward Israel, Syria, and Iran, highlighting the need for sovereign decisions to be made and genuinely enforced. The article also stresses the importance of improving relations with Syria through tangible outcomes such as demarcating borders, border monitoring, the return of displaced persons, and achieving justice for the missing. Additionally, it calls for an end to unofficial foreign interventions, especially the role of embassies, and advocates transforming the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into a platform that promotes investments and enhances communication with Lebanese abroad. Concrete results, such as attracting investments and activating economic attachés, are essential. Finally, it underscores that Lebanon needs a unified foreign policy that is executed in a sovereign manner with tangible results—restoring the dignity of the diplomatic institution and serving the national interest of Lebanon.
