Beirut: Foreign Minister, Youssef Raggi, on Wednesday affirmed that the negotiation track launched by the Lebanese state is the only path to securing a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory and reaching a lasting agreement that preserves Lebanon's stability, rights, sovereignty, and national interests.

According to National News Agency - Lebanon, Raggi expressed Lebanon's appreciation for efforts by friendly and brotherly countries, while stressing that all local, regional, and international efforts must be unified behind a single track led exclusively by the Lebanese state. He warned that parallel tracks or alternative frameworks addressing Lebanon's file outside the state would only create fragmentation and weaken Lebanon's negotiating position at a highly sensitive moment.
