Rajji: Beirut needs justice, not mercy
Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji said Beirut does not wait for anyone’s mercy, but for justice that cannot be compromised and truth that cannot remain hostage to political calculations.
In a post on X marking the commemoration of the August 4 Beirut port explosion, Rajji said Beirut exploded in a moment, but did not break, stressing that the victims must be remembered and that their memory would be honored until the full truth is revealed.
What happened was not fate, but a crime preceded by negligence and conspiracy, followed by delays, stalling and complicity that continue to prevent the truth from being uncovered to this day, he said.
Beirut, which rose from its rubble, does not wait for anyone’s mercy, but for uncompromising justice and a truth that does not remain hostage to calculations, fear, concealment and failure, the minister added.
