Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud stated in an interview with "MTV" during the 14th Internal Security Forces Marathon under the slogan "We Run for Humanity" that "Beirut has returned to joy and has witnessed a growth of 7 percent, with significant preparations for a promising summer if the situation in the south stabilizes." He urged the public not to follow rumors, to avoid disagreements among themselves, and to stand in solidarity with the state and security forces during these difficult times, emphasizing that "we will overcome the current crisis, as Lebanon has gone through tougher circumstances, and we can only navigate this phase through unity and solidarity."
