The "Lebanon Strong" bloc reaffirmed its commitment to "any dialogue among the Lebanese that results in a national position protecting Lebanon from the repercussions of Israeli aggression and strengthening the resilience of people in their land." The bloc expressed solidarity with "the Southerners whose homes have been bombed and vacated." It reiterated its stance on "the right to defend Lebanon and the rejection of any armed actions by non-Lebanese parties that could provoke war."
In a statement following their meeting chaired by MP Gebran Bassil, the bloc reiterated its clear support for the Palestinian people's resistance from their land to achieve their legitimate rights in establishing their independent state. It recalled what "its president did when he was Minister of Foreign Affairs in support of the Palestinian issue, especially Gaza, when he was the first to file a complaint with the International Criminal Court on July 23, 2014, during the Israeli aggression on Gaza, accusing it of committing war crimes, violating Geneva Conventions, targeting civilians, and deliberate destruction."
The bloc emphasized that "restoring Lebanon's rights in its occupied land is a basic matter that cannot be linked to any conditions, and so is the entitlement to the presidency." In this context, the bloc called for taking advantage of the pressure on the enemy's government due to the displacement of residents from Northern occupied Palestine by linking any negotiation to achieving a number of goals related to land, resources, and complete sovereignty, foremost of which is securing Lebanon's rights and establishing a roadmap for the return of Syrian refugees, safeguarding the right of return, and addressing the issue of Palestinian refugees.
The bloc warned of "the danger of practices undermining the constitution, institutions, and the charter, which are ongoing on both government and legislative levels." It completely rejected any encroachment on the position of the presidency and the trivialization of the presidential vacancy, treating it as a plausible situation, as well as regarding matters as though there is no vacancy. It cautioned that "attacking the rights of partnership in governance opens the door to all possibilities."
The bloc asserted that it "will never tolerate anyone undermining the concept of state and constitution through their practices, believing they can govern and manage the country while excluding essential components, nor will it allow any infringement on the rights of those it represents, who will never be left abandoned."
