Aoun: Release of First Lebanese Detainees Affirms Effectiveness of Lebanese Position
President of the Republic, General Joseph Aoun, expressed his thanks for all the efforts and endeavours undertaken, particularly by the United States of America, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, as well as by international organizations, foremost among them the International Committee of the Red Cross, which today led to the release of the first group of Lebanese detainees held by the Israeli government.
President Aoun said: This first step once again reaffirms the effectiveness of Lebanon’s firm position, in all its components, as well as the need to complete the required steps outlined in the trilateral framework, with the aim of restoring full Lebanese sovereignty over all its territory.
President Aoun concluded by extending his congratulations to the freed detainees and their relatives and families, renewing his commitment to continuing the struggle to achieve all national demands and objectives.
May all Lebanese live with dignity in a free homeland, where the only weapons on its soil belong to its legitimate forces, and where no authority over its people exists except that of their protective, guarantor, capable and just state.
