Aoun says no one can bear another war in Lebanon
President Joseph Aoun on Monday called on the Lebanese to “unify efforts and act objectively and responsible to keep Lebanon away from the conflict around us,” referring to the latest sectarian bloodshed in neighboring Syria.
He added that his objective is to “ensure the country’s safety and not risk the eruption of a war, seeing as no one has the ability to bear it.”
“This is a chance to protect Lebanon, in the vein of what happened during the war between Israel and Iran, when we exerted efforts to keep Lebanon away from this war,” the president said.
“Foreign nations have lauded the taken decision to monopolize arms in the hand of the state,” Aoun added.
