Full transcript · English

What's happening in Beirut just happened a couple of days ago, so we couldn't do anything about it. We never imagined that this would happen. I have to say a word for the Lebanese people that our hearts are with them. I trust they're surviving. I trust how strong they are because they have passed through several traumas and several wars in their lives, and they did survive by all means. So I just want to tell them that you are in our hearts. We pray for you. We respect you. We respect your power. And may God be with you all the time.
