Lebanese President Michel Aoun on Thursday ruled out the possibility of a war with Israel, but said that if such a war were to occur, all the citizens of his country are willing to battle Israel.
Speaking to the Kuwaiti-based Al-Rai newspaper, Aoun said, “I do not think there will be war with Israel, because Israel would not win such a war.”
He then added, “All Lebanese are ready to resist. All the Lebanese are prepared to fight against Israel. Yes, we are a small country, but we have reestablished our national unity, and part of that is a united opposition to anyone who attacks our country.”
