In response to a question, responsible sources told Al-Jumhuriya that “the warnings all serve one goal, which is not to preoccupy Israel or exhaust it in its war on Gaza. Hence our assurance to all the delegates that you are coming to the wrong place. Lebanon is not the party concerned with providing reassurances.
