The Lebanese-American Coordination Committee (LACC) is closely monitoring the escalation on Lebanon's borders.

It called on the U.S. administration to activate its efforts to prevent involving Lebanon in the war and urged the United Nations, the Arab League, and Lebanon's international friends, including the USA, to exert maximum diplomatic pressure to protect Lebanon and its people.

In a statement, the LACC strongly condemned the targeting of civilians, schools, hospitals, media outlets, and places of worship. It emphasized strict adherence to the provisions of international humanitarian law and called for dialogue instead of violence to resolve conflicts.

The committee stressed that justice is the natural path to peace, requiring rejecting all forms of violence and extremism and adhering to the United Nations resolutions concerning the Palestinian cause, which advocate for a two-state solution and the return of refugees.

The LACC also highlighted the multiple existential threats facing Lebanon, including attempts to drag it into the conflict by using its territory to send regional and international messages unrelated to its national security.

It called for a decisive stance from the caretaker government and the legitimate Lebanese military and security forces to assert the authority of the Lebanese state over its entire territory, protecting Lebanon's sovereignty, and implementing the constitutional provisions as well as relevant UN Security Council resolutions, particularly 1559, 1680, and 1701.

The committee condemned the attacks on journalists in southern Lebanon and emphasized respecting their mission to convey the truth, as guaranteed by the Lebanese constitution, charters, and international treaties.

The LACC expressed support for the sovereign and reformist forces in Lebanon, emphasizing their unequivocal refusal to involve Lebanon in the conflict.

It called for Lebanon's neutrality, especially amid the severe economic, social, and financial crisis and the complete collapse of infrastructure.
