Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemns the Israeli strike in Beirut in a statement issued on his behalf.
He calls on “the United States and France, as guarantors of the ceasefire agreement, to assume their responsibilities and compel Israel to halt its attacks immediately.” He also says that Israel’s continued destabilization will intensify tensions in the region.
