The Islamic-Christian spiritual summit, which was held on Wednesday, October 16, in Bkerki, the episcopal see of the Maronite Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch of the Maronite Church in Lebanon, affirmed that the Israeli aggression targets all of Lebanon and that the Lebanese, through their unity, are capable of resisting it.

In its closing statement, the summit urged the Lebanese people to engage in dialogue and maintain understanding, stressing that Lebanon is at risk of being lost due to Israeli threats and highlighting the importance of national unity and mutual support.

The statement also called on the Lebanese to fulfill their national responsibilities, particularly urging Parliament to elect a president of the Republic.

The summit expressed gratitude to those in Lebanon who are providing aid and shelter to the displaced people until they can return to their homes and villages.

Furthermore, the statement called on the UN Security Council to convene and take immediate action to stop the aggression on Lebanon, implement UN Resolution 1701, and enhance the capabilities of the Lebanese army.

The closing statement also thanked the Arab nations for their material and medical support, calling for an increase in assistance as Lebanon faces devastation.
