Aoun: Army is in charge and will change situations in the South
The situations in the South “will change with the presence of the army,” whose strength “stems from its legitimacy and people’s embracement and firm confidence,” President Joseph Aoun said on Friday.
“The order for the army to confront any Israeli land incursion was aimed at sending a message to everyone that the army has become in charge of decisions in the South and is tasked with protecting it,” the president added.
“As a responsible head of state who has duties towards his country, I bear responsibility for my decisions, whose goal is the interest of my country, people, the South and the sons of the South,” Aoun said.
“Building a strong state is essential, seeing as the ultimate loyalty should be to the country,” the president went on to say.
