In an official statement, the Ministry emphasized the "necessity of utilizing this period for serious negotiations in good faith that lead to sustainable solutions addressing the root causes of the crisis."
Lebanon asserted "categorically that it speaks with one voice—its own," stressing that "no party has the right to negotiate on its behalf except for the Lebanese State, and any bypass of the state constitutes a direct violation of its sovereignty and national decision-making."
The statement noted that Lebanon "has previously announced its readiness for direct negotiations with Israel with civilian participation and under international sponsorship."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs further affirmed that "Lebanon’s sovereignty is indivisible and non-negotiable" and that its "national choices, security, and political future are determined exclusively by its constitutional institutions, independent of any external interference."
The Ministry concluded by stating that Lebanon "will continue to intensify its diplomatic efforts to safeguard its stability and ensure full respect for its sovereignty, unity, and national interests."
