Aoun: The Lebanese Are Exhausted and Cannot Endure Another War
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun declared on Thursday that the country stands at a critical crossroads, stressing that unity, cooperation, and solidarity are essential to navigating the current phase. 'The Lebanese are tired,' Aoun said, 'and they can no longer bear another war. We do not want to drag the country into more bloodshed. We have significant opportunities ahead, especially with our Arab brothers extending a hand. We must seize these chances and lift Lebanon out of its current state.' He made his comments during a meeting with Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Latif Derian, who was accompanied by a delegation of regional muftis, at the Baabda presidential palace. The gathering also included Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri. Aoun voiced concern over some political actors who, he said, 'lack a sense of responsibility and insist on spreading groundless rumors and fostering a negative atmosphere.' He emphasized the important contributions of all Lebanese communities, particularly the Sunni community, which he said brings 'two vital values to Lebanon: internal moderation and a firm affirmation of Lebanon's Arab identity.' In turn, Derian expressed his full support for Aoun, praising him as 'a symbol of Lebanese unity and guardian of the Taif Agreement and the Constitution.' He stressed that only national unity and adherence to state institutions can protect Lebanon at this critical juncture. Derian condemned ongoing Israeli violations, calling for the full implementation of UN Resolution 1701, which he said has only been honored by the Lebanese side. 'Instead of proposing new agreements, we should insist on applying all provisions of this resolution,' he said. Following the meeting, Derian echoed Berri's optimism that the situation in the country is heading in a positive direction, despite public concern. He described Berri as a 'genuine national guarantor' working diligently to protect Lebanon from war and resolve ongoing crises. 'We are optimistic and confident that any challenges can only be overcome through unity,' he added. 'At Dar al-Fatwa, our message is clear: we speak not in sectarian terms, but in the language of national inclusion.'

Lebanon: George Abdallah Released after 40 Years in French Jail
One of France's longest-held inmates, the pro-Palestinian Lebanese activist Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, will be released and deported on Friday, after more than 40 years behind bars for the killings of two diplomats. At around 3:40 am (01:30 GMT), a convoy of six vehicles left the Lannemezan penitentiary with lights flashing, AFP journalists saw, though they were unable to catch a glimpse of the 74-year-old grey-bearded prisoner. Abdallah was detained in 1984 and sentenced to life in prison in 1987 for his involvement in the murders of US military attache Charles Robert Ray and Israeli diplomat Yacov Barsimantov in Paris. The Paris Court of Appeal had ordered his release "effective July 25" on the condition that he leave French territory and never return. He had been eligible for release since 1999, but his previous requests were denied as the United States -- a civil party to the case -- consistently opposed him leaving prison. Inmates serving life sentences in France are typically freed after fewer than 30 years. Once out of prison, Abdallah is set to be transported to the Tarbes airport where a police plane will take him to Roissy for a flight to Beirut, according to a source close to the case. Abdallah's lawyer, Jean-Louis Chalanset, visited for a final time on Thursday. "He seemed very happy about his upcoming release, even though he knows he is returning to the Middle East in an extremely tough context for Lebanese and Palestinian populations," Chalanset told AFP. AFP visited Abdallah last week after the court's release decision, accompanying a lawmaker to the detention center. The founder of the Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Factions (FARL) -- a long-disbanded Marxist anti-Israel group -- said for more than four decades he had continued to be a "militant with a struggle". The appeals court in February noted that Abdallah "had not committed a violent action since 1984" and that Abdallah "today represented a past symbol of the Palestinian struggle". The appeals judges also found the length of his detention "disproportionate" to the crimes and given his age. Abdallah's family said they plan to meet him at Beirut airport's "honor lounge" before heading to their hometown of Kobayat in northern Lebanon where a reception is planned.

Lebanese PM Makes Brief Visit to Paris, Secures French Support
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam concluded a short but significant visit to Paris this week, where he met with French President Emmanuel Macron for a working lunch focused on Lebanon's internal situation and regional developments. Contrary to earlier reports suggesting that Macron had summoned Salam to the Elysee, diplomatic sources clarified that the visit had been scheduled last month, prior to a cancelled French-hosted summit initially planned for June 17–18. This was the PM's first visit to France since his appointment to his post earlier this year. The discussions touched on Lebanon's political and economic challenges, as well as broader issues including Syria, the war in Gaza, and tensions with Iran. Speaking to a small group of journalists at the Lebanese Embassy in Paris, Salam emphasized that Lebanon remains insulated from regional instability, referencing recent unrest in Syria's Sweida province. He credited local mediation efforts by political and religious figures, notably Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, with helping maintain internal calm. On the future of the UN peacekeeping mission (UNIFIL) in southern Lebanon, Salam dismissed fears of its withdrawal amid reports of US and Israeli pressure. While acknowledging concerns over potential US funding cuts to the peacekeeping operations, he said these are unlikely to threaten UNIFIL's presence. Salam affirmed Lebanon's continued need for the force until the Lebanese Army is sufficiently supported, and highlighted France's historical leadership role in shaping UNIFIL's mandate. He also addressed criticism of the armistice monitoring committee - of which France is a member - noting that while its performance may fall short of Lebanese expectations, it remains active as part of a broader Franco-American coordination. Turning to the issue of Syrian refugees in Lebanon, Salam offered an optimistic outlook. He stated that his government had achieved tangible progress in cooperation with the UNHCR and Syrian authorities, aiming for the safe and dignified return of displaced Syrians. According to Salam, over 120,000 refugees have returned since the beginning of the year, and many have been removed from both Lebanese and UNHCR records. He downplayed recent reports of a new influx from Syria, estimating the numbers at no more than 60,000. Salam also revealed that Macron expressed support for Lebanon's reform efforts, including financial reforms. However, he noted that France has not yet set a date for a proposed economic aid conference, pending concrete reform steps. Upon returning to Beirut, Salam thanked France for its continued support for Lebanon's security, sovereignty, and prosperity, and reaffirmed Macron's commitment to strengthening bilateral ties across security, economic, and cultural sectors.
