I am Part of the Regional Conflict Against Israel
In a live interview with the Qatari based al-Jazeera television on Saturday, Reform and Change parliamentary bloc leader Michel Aoun said:" I am part of the regional conflict against Israel; I am not against Egypt and Saudi Arabia. However, everyone should beware not to engage in bilateral agreements at the expense of Lebanon."

Aoun explained that we must provide others with some trust.
Aoun commented on relations with Syria saying: "Vicinity closeness forces neighboring countries to have special and natural relations, natural relations with Syria cover tourism, trade and common waters," he said.
He explained that, someone should have begun improving relations with Syria and I found myself capable of doing that.
On the issue of the upcoming Lebanese legislative elections Aoun remarked:" I said to President Assad that I am comfortable in knowing that we will win the next legislative elections, I talked to him about the need for holding the elections, but did not talk about electoral lists."
Aoun said:" I am considering visiting Maronite Patriarch Sfeir. However, I am looking into it timing."
