Representative Wael Abu Faour considered that any internal solution in Lebanon must remain linked to the regional conflict, stressing that Lebanon is part of a larger regional conflict. He said in a television interview, “Lebanon is an arena attached to a larger conflict, and there does not seem to be a solution to this conflict,” noting that “there is no solution at the major level, and therefore I do not believe there is a solution at the internal level.” He continued: “We adhere to our observations about the talks with Israel, and it does not seem that we are heading towards a settlement in the major conflict in the region, and therefore I do not think that we will reach solutions at the internal level.” Abu Faour stressed that “there is no rupture with the President of the Republic or the Prime Minister, and that the observations on the framework agreement are the same,” stressing the refusal to return the Lebanese file to any external axis. He pointed out that "it is not in Lebanon's interest to return the Lebanese file to the Iranian embrace, and this issue is not agreed upon by the Lebanese," stressing that the state is the one that determines which external parties will benefit official Lebanon in reaching a result upon which everyone agrees. Abu Faour believed that Hezbollah is still unique in its high-level rhetoric towards the state, pointing out that the Progressive Socialist Party is talking to various parties, “and we are trying, through our national stance, to reduce the high ceilings.” He added: “There are no official or political contacts with Hezbollah,” noting that the internal debate must be reopened, and that the most divisive issue today is the form of the relationship between Lebanon and Israel.
