The Day Aoun Addressed the UN General Assembly

Lebanese media on September 23 prominently covered President Aoun's address to the UN General Assembly in the evening, where he stated that Lebanon chose to be a land of life, not a hotbed of wars, and appealed for support, emphasizing the potential for extremism if Lebanon falls. This follows earlier reports of Aoun's meetings at the UN, where he informed Guterres that continued Israeli aggressions impede the disarmament plan's implementation.

Throughout the day, Prime Minister Salam's response to American envoy Barrack's statements, in which he expressed surprise and reaffirmed the government's commitment to its ministerial statement, also received significant attention. The ongoing Hawk III financial scandal was noted as being before the financial prosecutor.
