Michel Issa, U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon speaks after an extension of the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire was announced: I would like to thank @POTUS, @VP, @SecRubio for making this historical meeting today happen. This is 60, 70 years in the making, and today is really a historical day.
A short while ago, in full coordination with the local community of Debel in southern Lebanon, the damaged statue was replaced by IDF troops. The Northern Command worked to coordinate the replacement of the statue from the moment it received the report of the incident.
The IDF expresses deep regret over the incident, and is working to ensure that it does not happen again in the future.

#SyriacNow is in soft launch.
A new platform for learning Syriac is here, built to help bring our language back into daily life through a modern, effective, and accessible course.
You are warmly invited to subscribe, explore, and test the platform. Access is FREE, and donations are welcome for those who would like to support the project and help it grow.
The first level is now live, with 10 lessons that introduce the alphabet, syllables and accents, basic vocabulary, and the reading of the Our Father and Hail Mary prayers.
If this mission speaks to you, join us from the start. Be part of the beginning.

Today we entrust to Saint Charbel’s intercession the needs of the Church, #Lebanon and the world. For the Church, we ask for unity. For the world, we ask for #Peace. We especially implore it for Lebanon and for the entire Levant. But there is no peace without conversion of hearts. May Saint Charbel, therefore, help us to turn to God and ask for the gift of conversion for all of us. #ApostolicJourney
"The Lord be with you.. And with your spirit!" Listen to the enthusiasm from the congregation as Pope Leo opens with prayer at the Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. So far, the Lebanese welcome for Pope Leo has been incredible.
