July 21, 2024Lebanon’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants of Lebanon, Abdallah Rashid Bouhabib, delivered a powerful speech, describing Palestine as the key to stability in the Middle East.
“Palestine will remain the key to stability in the Middle East, and despite the tragedy we are experiencing today in Gaza, we should all cooperate to create a historic opportunity to shape a better future for future generations in all countries of the region.”

Abdullah Bou Habib: We asked, and we are asking again, to stop the war in Gaza and stop the escalation in southern Lebanon. To date, Israel still rejects a ceasefire on Lebanon’s southern border and seeks to keep the front raging. It also seeks to expand the range of its attacks, burning thousands of long-lived olive trees, and polluting agricultural lands with white phosphorus, making them unsuitable for agriculture for many years, depriving farmers in southern Lebanon of their basic and perhaps only source of livelihood. All of this fuels hatred, extremism, violence, and the culture of canceling the other, at a time when we are in dire need of calm, de-escalation, and total stability. Mr. President, the front on Lebanon’s southern border is inflamed because of the situation and the ongoing war in Gaza. Palestine will remain the key to stability in the Middle East, and despite the tragedy we are experiencing today in Gaza, we should all cooperate to create a historic opportunity to shape a better future for future generations in all countries of the region. Peace will not be achieved in our region before the establishment of the promised Palestinian state in accordance with United Nations resolutions. In what right is an entire people left to their own destiny and to the mood of the occupier to die of hunger, thirst and disease? Hundreds of thousands of innocent Palestinians are children, women and the elderly. Their only guilt is being born and living and dying every day under occupation.
