Aboul Gheit expresses solidarity with Lebanon, condemns Israeli raids targeting Lebanese assets

Mr Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, strongly condemned the successive Israeli air strikes targeting civilian objects and assets belonging to the Lebanese state, including bridges destroyed by Israeli occupation forces, as well as the repeated raids on residential areas in Beirut, which pose grave risks to civilians.

The Secretary-General expressed his full solidarity with the Lebanese state, which is making every effort to avoid becoming embroiled in the ongoing war in the region, while the Hezbollah militia persists in exposing Lebanon, its people, and its resources to mounting dangers.

Gamal Roshdy, the official spokesperson for the Secretary-General, reaffirmed full support for the decision of the Lebanese government to ban Hezbollah’s military and security activities and to pursue the effective consolidation of the state’s exclusive authority over arms.

He stressed that Israel’s plans to reoccupy Lebanese territories reflect an expansionist policy that is both unacceptable and condemnable, in addition to obstructing the prospects for implementing the Lebanese government’s decision.
