On International Youth Day, MP Elias Hankach delivered a powerful message to the young people of Lebanon, emphasizing the importance of resilience and hope in the face of the nation's ongoing crises.

His statement, shared on the social media platform "X," was a call to action for the country's youth, both those who have stayed and those who have emigrated.

“To those who have remained in Lebanon, I say: Resist the crises and hold on to hope,” Hankach urged as he acknowledged the difficult circumstances that many young Lebanese are enduring but encouraged them to persevere and continue to believe in a brighter future.

Hankach also addressed the significant number of young Lebanese who have chosen to leave the country in search of better opportunities abroad. He reminded them of the importance of staying connected to their homeland.

“To those who have chosen to emigrate, I say: Carry your homeland in your hearts and minds, and plan for your future in it.” 

In a special message to his colleagues in the Kataeb Party's Students and Youth Department, Hankach expressed pride and encouraged them to continue their efforts in advocating for change.

“To my comrades in the Students and Youth Department, I say: Continue your struggle so that Lebanon can rise again. We are proud of you,” he wrote.
