State Minister for Combating Corruption, Nicolas Tueni, deemed Saturday that "Fajr al-Joroud" operation came after political consensus between all Lebanese counterparts, and a political decision free of all constraints.

"Fajr al-Joroud operation came after a liberated political decision," Tueini emphasized, describing the operation as the new dawn for Lebanon and the Lebanese borders.

"The decision that President Michel Aoun and Army Commander Joseph Aoun have taken in launching the offensive [against Daesh] is purely Lebanese, and is a decision based on a long military experience," he went on.

Tueini rejected recent talk of military coordination between Lebanon, Syria and Iran "since it has no logical basis," adding that "political reality imposes itself on all options."

Elaborating further on the subject, Tueini pointed to the necessity of cooperating with Syria over daily-living and economic issues. He cited herein Lebanon's need of "operating its factories and exporting its products to Arab and Gulf countries as quickly as possible, in addition to addressing the issue of displaced Syrians and ways to ensure their return to their homeland
