The "La Saida Al-Jabal" meeting noted the movement led by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, regarding the South and all of Lebanon, to deliver a message to the Lebanese that the state is the state of everyone and stands by their side, even if it often lacks recourse.
The meeting welcomed "signs of a beginning reconsideration in the environment that paid the greatest and tremendous price for Hezbollah's Iranian bets, first and last."
