Beirut, June 23 (Petra) – Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Monday condemned the “attack on the State of Qatar,” describing it as “a violation of the sovereignty of a sister nation and a move that could further inflame tensions and expand the scope of military confrontation in the region.”

In a statement, Aoun warned of the negative repercussions such attacks could have on ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions and return to the negotiating table, which he called the only viable path to restoring peace and stability in the region.

He praised Qatar’s longstanding positive role in regional conflict resolution, affirming that the country continues to enjoy Lebanon’s full solidarity and support in defending its sovereignty and protecting its people and territory.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam also condemned the attack, expressing full solidarity with the Qatari leadership and people.

In a statement, Salam offered his wishes for the safety of Qatar and its citizens, praying that the country be spared further harm.
