Lebanon will extend army’s control over whole country, president says
Lebanon is determined to build its army and extend its control over the whole country to end a cycle of violence, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun says following an Israeli counter-strike on Beirut.
“We reject any attack on Lebanon or any suspicious, malicious attempt to return Lebanon to the cycle of violence,” Aoun tells a joint press conference with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in Paris.
“What is happening increases our determination and commitment to build our country and army, and extend our control over all of our lands.”
