President Michel Aoun described the sea border demarcation agreement with Israel as a gift to the Lebanese people, adding that it will pull Lebanon out of the crisis.
“The situation in Lebanon deteriorated a lot after the country fell into a void that wasn’t a coincidence, but rather as a result of actions and behaviors that led it to the current situation,” Aoun said.
The President considered that the aid dispensed to Lebanon through the Paris 1, Paris 2, and Paris 3 conferences was of no use due to the failure to change the governance method, and because of the waste of funds that characterized the work of institutions and administrations.
As for the demarcation deal, Aoun said it would allow Lebanon to extract oil and gas, pulling Lebanon out of the crisis it was thrown into.
