Aoun Says Proposed Anti-Hizbullah U.S. Bill to 'Harm Lebanon, Lebanese'

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

President Michel Aoun warned Monday that a new anti-Hizbullah sanctions bill that the U.S. Congress is mulling would “greatly harm Lebanon and its people.”

“The draft law that is being prepared in Congress to slap new financial sanctions on Lebanese parties, institutions and individuals will greatly harm Lebanon and its people,” Aoun told a delegation from the American Task Force for Lebanon, an organization that “unites Americans of Lebanese heritage to promote a secure, stable, free and sovereign Lebanon.”

Media reports said a Lebanese delegation is conducting contacts abroad in a bid to tone down the U.S. bill.

According to reports, the proposed law might for the first time target AMAL Movement, Hizbullah's key Shiite ally. Other reports said the bill might target several other allies of Hizbullah.

Because he's submissive to Iran?

Thumb Mystic 24 April 2017, 19:52

Because he says no to America and Israel.

Thumb Elemental 24 April 2017, 20:12

Submissive to Iran, got it. Now why is is Mystic you're so backward you assume that if someone's not with Iran,then they're with Israel?. Never occurred in that limited mentality of yours there's people who don't like either of you or Israel or Daesh? Man up kid.

Well it is not a mystery that you are a Zionist loving cupcake.

Playing moderate Muslim in the West, yet you are sympathetic to Al Qaeda in Syria, who's the kid here then? The one that states facts or you that whines about it.

yeah and the troll mowaten and his 50 aliases deleted my comment:

The Lebanese passport is at an equal footing with:

Sri Lanka Passport

South Sudan Passport

Ethiopia Passport

Even the Palestinian Authority Passport is ranked higher than ours and we have this pawn telling us what is good for the Lebanese and still defending the terrorist militia.

Aoun you Iranian puppet, remove the cause of the disease, don't just try to cosmetically cover up the symptoms. Remove that cancerous Hizb gland and there would be no US bills aimed at our economy.
