Aoun to the United Nations: Stabilizing Lebanon’s right to restore its occupied lands and protect its borders

The President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, will leave today, Saturday, to New York, heading the delegation of Lebanon to the work of the eighties of the United Nations General Assembly, where he will deliver his first speech from the platform of the international organization as President of the Republic.

David Ramal wrote in “Calling of the homeland”: It is expected that Aoun’s discourse be transcended by the limits of the description to asking fundamental questions about the future of the region, and at the forefront of which is the above and presented it at the exceptional Doha summit of the authority: Does the government of Israel want a fair and permanent peace? If the answer is yes, then Lebanon will announce its readiness to move forward according to the Arab Peace Initiative presented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the Beirut summit in 2002, and adopted by the Arab League unanimously, and it received widespread international support that was recently translated in “New York”, which was issued by the General Assembly with an overwhelming majority as a result of a Saudi and French effort, defining tangible steps that are irreversible towards the two -state solution. With a comprehensive, fair and permanent peace, the international community puts the responsibility for pushing this path. There is no real stability without recognizing the rights of the Palestinian people and the sovereignty of Lebanon on its soil. But Aoun also introduces other possibilities, if the Israeli answer is half an answer or mere dodging, or if the answer does not come at all, then Lebanon will not be deceived again with the illusion of settlements, but will build on reality and fortify itself with its facts, devoting a realistic approach that breaks the series of disappointments that the peoples of the region lived, as a result of the exhausted promises and distorted initiatives, and opens a door for a more explicit approach Absolutely dealing with the facts. In addition to his speech, President Aoun will lead a wide diplomatic activity through a series of meetings with the heads of Arab and international delegations, during which he raises the Lebanese issue from its multiple angles, specifically supporting the national economy and saving its institutions, and helping to confront the repercussions of the recent Israeli war on Lebanon, in terms of reconstruction, stabilizing Lebanon’s right to restore its occupied lands and protecting Its limits. Aoun is expected to benefit from the atmosphere of the eighties, which stresses commitment to peace, development and human rights, to place Lebanon at the heart of international discussions, not on its margins. Lebanon’s participation in the major challenges that lead the general assembly of this year will match the need to fulfill the goals of sustainable development to the resurrection of international cooperation in the face of climate change and economic and health crises. Here, Lebanon holds a double message as a small country that is crises, but at the same time it carries a major issue related to justice and the right of peoples to self -determination. If the slogan of the course “Working together to achieve better results”, then Lebanon wants these results to turn into tangible facts on its soil, not into formal readings. Joseph Aoun’s speech at the United Nations will be with its clear and firmness, as a new test of the will of the international community in dealing with Lebanon as a sovereign state, as a square for the conflicts of others. And between the question that Israel will ask for peace, and the answer that the coming days will reveal, the features of the stage are clear; Either opening a window towards a fair historical settlement, or perpetuating the reality of the existing matter, as the people remain a captive of the balance of power and the absence of justice. In any case, Lebanon records its presence on the major platforms, adhering to its rights and affirming that his voice will not be absent, whatever the circumstances.
