Aoun: Any Israeli Attempt to Harm Lebanese Sovereignty Will Meet Appropriate Response
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةPresident Michel Aoun has slammed a recent Israeli letter to the U.N., warning that any Israeli threats to Lebanon's sovereignty will be met with an “appropriate response.”
Israeli envoy to the U.N. Danny Danon's letter is “a blatant Israeli attempt to threaten security and stability” in south Lebanon, Aoun said, warning that “any Israeli attempt to harm Lebanese sovereignty or expose the Lebanese to danger will be met with the appropriate response.”
And warning that Danon's letter contained a “threat to Lebanon,” the president called on the international community to “pay attention to Israel's hostile intentions towards Lebanon.”
“It is Israel that should abide by the Security Council resolutions, seeing as it is still refusing to implement Resolution 1701 or to move from the phase of the cessation of hostilities to the phase of ceasefire although the resolution was issued more than 11 years ago,” Aoun told visitors at the Baabda Palace.
“It is also still occupying Lebanese territory in the northern part of the town of Ghajar as well as in the Shebaa Farms and Kfarshouba Hills, not to mention its daily violations of the Blue Line and Lebanese sovereignty in air and sea. The displacement of half a million Palestinians hosted by Lebanon also continues, which represents a continued aggression against Lebanon and its people,” Aoun added.
The development comes days after Hizbullah and Israel exchanged threats.
"If (Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan) Nasrallah dares to fire at the Israel homefront or at its national infrastructure, all of Lebanon will be hit," Yisrael Katz, Israel's Minister of Intelligence, said Thursday in response to threats launched earlier in the day by Nasrallah.
Nasrallah advised Israel to "dismantle the Dimona nuclear reactor," warning that it poses a threat to Israel's existence if hit by his group's missiles.
A 2006 war between Israel and Hizbullah killed about 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, and around 160 Israelis mostly soldiers before ending in a United Nations-brokered cease-fire.
The Israel-Lebanon border has remained mostly quiet since the 2006 war but there have been sporadic outbursts of violence.
Claims the Saudi Jew.
Say those words out loud in Lebanon, and you shall be arrested.
Israeli sympathizer
so you're disrespecting the Lebanese Christian President for defending Lebanon and speaking up against israeli threats, and expect us to believe you're lebanese and/or christian? I hope your kibbutz has a nuclear shelter
lol @mowateh
You're not Lebanese, and even less honorable, so don't pretend to speak for what you're not.
You have no idea what is good for Lebanon, and you don't care either. You're an iranian-loving muppet and only their interests count for you.
just like you hezbos disrespected president Sleiman... and you expect the readership to believe you are lebanese not iranians?
neither you hezbos want to respect 1701 as it implies disarmament of your hezbi militia nor israelis... hezbos and israel share the same common goal...
Ex president suleiman, insulted the Resistance in a public speech.
Why should we support him then?
Just simply wait for his term to end.
as a true patriot he wanted that your militia obey the state and be placed under the orders of the Lebanese army... shows how much you hezbos respect the Lebanese army as you do not want to receive orders from it, because you are not lebanese and disrespect Lebanon and its constitution...
you just obey the iranian revolution to which you pledged allegiance, but never pledged allegiance to the Lebanese Flag....
Years of your disrespecting President Aoun, and you act like you are patriotic?
Does all Americans support Trump, and does that make them less American?
Everyone have their favorites.
The reality is (and acknowledged by them) that Hezbo trolls have loyalty to Iran and the Hezb. As long as the presidency and government does their bidding and is subservient to their project, they will tolerate it. If not, they will attack it viciousely and if the government try to assert its constutional power, they will commit treason and use military force against it.
please, never stop posting. I am getting an online degree in journalism just reading your comments.
It's ok because the people they target don't take their orders from the lebanese but from Iran. Therefor, our sovereignty nor our dignity which is even more important aren't harmed. Quite the contrary.
It is wonderful to see a great Lebanese President resist the Israeli occupiers of Lebanese soil, steadfast and proud our President is.
Glad to know that the Lebanese authorities can respond with the same language of threats as the zionist enemy does, Lebanon has the ability to reach every corner and vital site within the enemy state and they know it.
does Baabda Palace have an underground bomb shelter? If not, I suggest that one be built and prepared for long stays as soon as possible.

Aoun: Any Israeli Attempt to Harm Lebanese Sovereignty Will Meet Appropriate Response
Lebanese sovereignty is being harmed everyday in Shebaa farms that you and your hezb claim are lebanese. Yet; your appropriate response is in Syria instead against the Syrian people.
Well the Resistance fought around Shebba farms on several occasions, whereas your kind screamed for them to stop the fighting.
Why don't you salafis liberate Palestine then?
You are quick to attack minorities in Syria but never support the sunnis of Palestine.
"fought around Shebba farms on several occasions" says the heretic.
hehehe that's how you liberate allegedly occupied land; "on several occasions";)
another autistic lecture on what double-standards plugins should mean, brought to you by @flametroller.
through the Saudi 3 billion dollar grant for his militia-army combo that he went begging for.
hahahahahahaha!
Genius at work! The way you calmly mix economy and psychology is just brilliant. You are super human in your abilities and the greeks would have referred to you as a god and worshiped you.
In other words, you are somesing anazar flamesrower!
Aoun was the distruction of lebanon when he odered warin 1989 and hope not if happens in near futur will be catastrophic this time.
Finally hezbollah have a president, a secretary general, and an army. Poor Lebanon....
Appropriate response:) this traitor better find some bunker to hide in once the "appropriate" response starts.
