dismissed the possibility of an Israeli assault on Leb.
"After the July 2006 war Israel will no longer attack Leb", the Lebanese president argued.
Michel Aoun referred to the war which erupted in 2006 between Israel and Lebanese paramilitary group Hezbollah and resulted in many casualties, citing this as a reason why Leb would not "be able to penetrate the Lebanese fronts".
In November this year it was reported that Israeli troops were carrying out exercises in the north of Leb. The move added fuel to the complex situation unfolding in the Middle East, and led many to conclude that a conflict with Hezbollah was looking increasingly likely.
President Michel Aoun went on to answer the question concerning the settlement of the political crisis, which recently broke out in Leb. Michel Aoun expressed his confidence over the crisis’ complete resolution, saying that "there are no disagreements between the Lebanese about [it]". "I don’t think that those who created this crisis will repeat it again," added Aoun.
The Lebanese political crisis was stirred by the unexpected announcement of resignation made by Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri
Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.whilst on a visit to Soddy Arabia
