Lebanese Paid War's Price

Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi said at the 22nd Manama Dialogue that the Lebanese people had paid a heavy price for wars they had not chosen, as armed groups operating outside state authority became instruments of foreign influence. He affirmed Lebanon’s solidarity with Bahrain and the Gulf states in the face of attacks, stressing that the state alone determines the country’s policies and security. He said the government had begun a process to restore its authority and bring all weapons under its control. He called for support for the army and security institutions, linking the restoration of sovereignty to Israel’s withdrawal, an end to its attacks, and the implementation of Resolution 1701.
