Al-Rahi says govt. session may stir sectarian row, endanger security
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday stressed that the caretaker cabinet is “a cabinet for taking care of people’s affairs, not a cabinet for the agendas of political parties and blocs,” two days after caretaker PM Najib Mikati called for a cabinet meeting amid an ongoing presidential vacuum.
“We call on PM Najib Mikati, who has always distanced himself from sharp divisions, to rectify things," al-Rahi said in his Sunday Mass sermon.
"The country can do without starting sectarian debates, creating new disputes, subjecting security to threats and triggering an institutional conflict and a disagreement over powers," al-Rahi warned, addressing Mikati.
