Summary of Petition Demands: The President must uphold his oath and positions on the resistance’s weapons as a sovereign issue, act to defend Lebanon, and honor his earlier stance on liberating Shebaa Farms and Kfarshouba Hills. The cohesion and solidarity of the people in the face of external aggression, coordination and integration between the state and the resistance at this stage, and the state's utilization of all its resources to reach a ceasefire agreement, liberate the land, prevent attacks, secure the release of prisoners, and preserve sovereignty.

tldr: us imperialism has to be understood as the primary contradiction for critiquing the present
