إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri stressed late Sunday that he was willing to quit politics if the Lebanese people voted him out.

“If people vote me out I am willing to leave is that fair enough,” he said on Twitter when one follower told him that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s father Hafez left his post for him as Rafik Hariri did.

“This is Nepotism and wrong,” the follower said.

“So you want me to leave politics?,” Hariri asked.

He reiterated that he has no problem with the Shiite sect and that his differences are with Hizbullah.

“I have a lot difference with Hizbullah politics and what they do, I have no issue with the Shiites because we are Lebanese,” he said.

Asked what his wish is for New Year, the former PM tweeted: “My wish is to give every Lebanese the freedom to speak and all infrastructure that is needed, from electricity to roads to telecom.”

He reiterated that he will be back to Beirut, stressing that his “wish is to see Lebanon the way” his father slain ex-Premier Rafik Hariri wanted it.

We conclude from the comments that there is no hope for this country.

What a crazy concept called DEMOCRACY!!! If only the rest of the politicians agree on this process. Let the LEBANESE people elect their government without the threats of weapons and direct influence of other countries/ideologies. And DON't EVEN PRETEND that Hibzallah isn't using it's weapons for internal reasons.

I agree with Hariri 100%. If the people don't want him to represent them, he should leave politics. But this goes to ALL politicians because it reflects the policies that the citizens care about.

The Lebanese people already voted you out. The majority in the Lebanese Parliament which is elected by the people didn't vote for you to become prime minister. You wouldn't be playing on twitter in your hometown Riyadh if the people actually wanted you.

We all want Saad Hariri not to leave. The trick is getting him back. Life is so boring without his hilarious stuttering speeches. We lost Choucou, and now we cannot afford to loose Saad. PLEASE BRING HIM BACK, EVEN IF IT TAKES KIDNAPPING HIM.

Why was my comments withdrawn from here? Since I was the one who asked His Excellency Saad Hariri, the question on this article! Naharnet should reinstate it.
