黎巴嫩总统约瑟夫·阿乌恩周四警告称，该地区正面临“极其严峻”的挑战，并表示希望这些挑战不会导致局势升级或爆发冲突。据黎巴嫩总统府发布的声明，阿乌恩是在贝鲁特东部的巴布达总统府主持内阁会议时发出这一警告的，会议上有总理纳瓦夫·萨拉姆出席。
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun warned Thursday that the region faces “very significant” challenges, expressing hope they would not lead to escalation or an “explosion.”Aoun made the warning while chairing a Cabinet session at the presidential palace in Baabda, east of Beirut, attended by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, according to a statement from the Lebanese presidency.
“该地区面临的挑战非常严峻，我希望这些挑战不会导致局势升级或爆发冲突，”阿乌恩说。
“The challenges facing the region are very significant, and I hope their course will not lead toward escalation or explosion,” Aoun said.
他敦促黎巴嫩各方“保持理智、具备危机意识并保持克制”，以保护国家免受地区局势的影响。他指出，黎巴嫩本身就已经处于经济困境之中。
He urged parties in Lebanon to “exercise wisdom, awareness and restraint” to shield the country from the impact of regional developments, noting that Lebanon is already suffering from difficult economic conditions.
他补充道：“这需要所有人——包括部长们和政治官员——都采取明智的行动，避免黎巴嫩受到该地区可能发生的任何动荡的影响。”
“This requires everyone, ministers and political officials, to act wisely to spare Lebanon any upheaval the region may witness,” he added.
他的言论正值西方媒体报道称美国和以色列正在准备对伊朗发动大规模攻击之际，不过袭击的具体时间仍不确定。以色列的议会选举定于10月27日举行，而美国的中期选举则定于11月3日。
His remarks come amid Western media reports about US and Israeli preparations for a large-scale attack on Iran, with uncertainty surrounding its timing, as Israeli Knesset elections are scheduled for Oct. 27 and US midterm elections for Nov. 3.
此外，鉴于胡塞武装最近几个月对沙特阿拉伯的袭击以及胡塞武装与也门政府军之间的战斗不断升级，阿乌恩重申了黎巴嫩对沙特阿拉伯的团结支持。
Separately, Aoun renewed Lebanon’s solidarity with Saudi Arabia following Houthi attacks against the Kingdom in recent months amid intensified fighting between the group and Yemeni government forces.
声明还提到，阿乌恩感谢卡塔尔在能源领域为黎巴嫩提供的援助。10月16日，卡塔尔首相谢赫·穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼·阿勒萨尼宣布了一项与黎巴嫩的全面能源合作计划。该计划包括一项重大投资项目，旨在支持黎巴嫩的经济稳定，并为其长期存在的电力短缺问题提供解决方案。
Aoun also thanked Qatar for its efforts to assist Lebanon in the energy sector, according to the statement. On Oct. 16, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani announced a comprehensive framework for energy cooperation with Lebanon. The framework includes a major investment project aimed at supporting Lebanon’s economic stability and providing long-term solutions to its chronic electricity shortages.
