Aoun urges release of Beirut port explosion ruling
As the sixth anniversary of the Beirut port explosion approaches, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun emphasized the need to issue the definitive decision regarding the case without delay, highlighting the importance of justice for the victims and uncovering the full truth. Authorities had concluded their investigations last March, with charges brought against about 70 officials, including politicians and employees. The case was then referred to the higher judicial council, which is still reviewing it. The investigation faces political obstacles, especially with Hezbollah’s attempt to hinder its progress, but it was resumed in 2025 following shifts in the balance of power. Meanwhile, the victims’ families continue to demand justice and oppose political interference in the judiciary.
