Sweden-Based Syrian Journalist Dr. Kamal Al-Labwani: There Is No Such Thing as Lebanon, It Belong to Syria Historically; If Latakia and Tartus Are Taken from Syria, It Will Raid Tripoli and Sidon and
Sweden-based Syrian journalist Dr. Kamal Al-Labwani said in an interview that was posted to the Lebanese YouTube channel Spot Shot on July 7, 2025 that if the superpowers take Latakia and Tartus from Syria, then Syria will have no choice but to invade Lebanon and annex Tripoli and Sidon by force, because it needs an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea. He accused the Lebanese army, under the command of current Lebanese President Aoun, of preparing barrel bombs for the Assad regime, and claimed that Lebanon had sent Hizbullah to occupy and destroy Syria. Al-Labwani said Lebanon is not a 'real country' but a 'historical lie' created by General Gouraud after World War I, and he declared that he wants to return the Lebanese people to their motherland of Syria. He also warned that any attempt to change Syria's borders will lead to the 'annihilation of Lebanon.' Dr. Kamal al-Labwani is a Syrian opposition figure and former political prisoner, known for his advocacy of democratic reform and cross-border dialogue.
