Al-Rahi Calls for Choosing New President Capable of Confronting Challenges
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi stressed on Friday the importance of electing a new head of state in Lebanon, who would be up to the level of the circumstance that will confront him.
He voiced hope during his sermon at the Saint Maroun Church at the Maronite College in Rome that peace “would prevail in the Middle East.”
“We should not consider that we are living in misery in Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and the Middle East region,” al-Rahi said.
The patriarch is currently in Rome to attend on Sunday the canonization ceremony in St. Peter's for Pope John Paul II and his Italian predecessor John XXIII.
He will later head to France where he will meet with the Lebanese community at the Roman Catholic pilgrimage site of Lourdes.

I prefer his statements to Hassan Nasrallah's war defending lies and statements my friend.
I also prefer his statements about the president to Hassan Nasrallah's interference about the issue dictating us what the president should be like and threatening the next president that he "must embrace the resistance".

Hassan believes the president should embrace Hezbollah. This means that the president cannot put into question the Islamic Resistance's Shiite Army's weapons or their actions. Actions which do not fall under the control of the state ! This is unacceptable !
They want to dictate what the president can and cannot do ! THis is none of their business !
