Aoun says committed to unveiling full truth in port blast case

President Joseph Aoun on Thursday told a delegation from the families of the Beirut port blast victims that he has a “clear commitment” to “unveil the full truth” and “hold accountable all those who caused this tragedy.”

“This is the path to pull our country out of the darkness of corruption and negligence,” Aoun added.

“We will spare no effort to build a state that respects the rights of its citizens and protects their lives, so that this tragedy becomes a lesson that paves the way for a better future,” the president said.

“From now on, the judiciary will take its course, the guilty will be put on trial and the innocent will be acquitted,” Aoun pledged.
