A Christian meeting held in Bkirki under Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Friday declared Lebanon in "grave danger" and called on the International Community to implement its commitments toward it.

The meeting included officials from the March 14 coalition and independent figures.

A statement read by Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel said: "Lebanon as an entity and a democratic system is in grave danger – a danger on all Lebanese, Christians and Muslims."

"We call on all Lebanese who have faith in their country to get up and defend Lebanon," the statement urged.
