According to Fouad Siniora, trying to bring about peace was not being done with enough initiative, and it was intolerable to let Lebanon disintegrate apart.
We are currently facing a very challenging scenario that calls for significant local, Arab, and global commitment.
“You can push things in a tremendous catastrophe—sometimes to the verge of falling—without truly understanding what it implies in the long run.

About 20 years ago, Hezbollah members crossed the border and attacked Israeli soldiers, sparking the start of the most recent conflict between Israel and Lebanon. A month-long struggle began when three were killed and two were kidnapped.
Siniora distanced the Lebanese government from the events in a statement she released in the days that followed.

That day, this government did not act in the same manner as my government. My administration was adamant and explicit in declaring that we were done.
