Maronite Bishops Council: State Must Protect Private Properties, Prevent Attacks against them
The Maronite Bishops Council condemned on Wednesday the attacks on private properties, urging the Lebanese to preserve their land “because they are the basis of their identity and history.”
It said in a statement after its monthly meeting, headed by Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi: “We demand the state to protect these properties according to the constitution and take the necessary security measures to prevent future attacks.”
It also condemned the “disgusting” July 26 attack against French soldiers in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, thanking the countries that are participating in the peacekeeping force.
On the government’s duties, the Maronite bishops hoped that it would be successful in its state appointments that should be based on competency.
