He emphasized that the responsibility for defending the south rests with the state, reaffirming Lebanon’s commitment to the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL as red lines. He also rejected direct negotiations with Israel while under fire, asserting that previous rounds of negotiations have not yielded results. Furthermore, he warned against sacrificing Lebanon's sovereign rights and stated that any war with Israel requires a national approach free from sectarian and regional calculations.
