Lebanese Army General Jean Qahwaji stressed on the importance of maintaining stability in the borderline areas, referring to the coordination between the Lebanese army and the UNIFIL on this level.

Furthermore, Qahwaji stressed that this stability does not rely only on efforts exerted by both the army and the UNIFIL, and by the implementation of resolution 1701, but is also relevant to the "Israeli" enemy's intentions where it still occupies parts of Lebanon.

Lebanese Army General added that the enemy is constantly violating the Lebanese sovereignty through its land, maritime and aerial breaches, in addition to installing espionage networks and systems in Lebanon's territories.

On the same level, General Qahwaji affirmed the army's readiness to confront the enemy's schemes and aggressions, stressing on the Lebanese people's right to exploit all power sources they have in order to prevent any danger from threatening Lebanon.

On the internal level, General Jean Qahwaji said that the recent increase in political disagreements is not something strange compared to Lebanon's democratic climate, confirming it does not reflect negatively on the army's spirit.

In this context, he also stressed that maintaining security represents an absolute priority for the army, where is considers itself as the firm base to restore the political conciliation and find resolutions for all present problems.
