Hassan: The State Alone Guarantees Security of Lebanon

W460

Interior Minister Raya Hassan stressed on Saturday that the Lebanese "state is the only entity eligible to protect and preserve Lebanon from external greeds," the National News Agency reported.

Hassan’s remarks came at the opening ceremony of the Internal Security Forces premises in the city of Sidon south of Beirut.

"The opening of a new building in Sidon for the Internal Security Forces falls within our strategic ambition to enhance the presence of the state and its security services in all areas of Lebanon," Hassan said.

She stressed that "security forces and security apparatuses are solely responsible for protecting the borders and ensuring security and safety of all Lebanese."

So when exactly are you going to clear the Hizballah terrorists out of the south?

Whether Israel can do it or not, is not the matter being discussed here.
It was the Minister of the INTERIOR (Capitals on purpose) of the Goverment of the Republic of Lebanon who claimed "security forces and security apparatuses are solely responsible for protecting the borders and ensuring security and safety of all Lebanese."

I agree with all of you that the most shameless and shameful bloc in Lebanese politics are Sunnis who side with the Christian elite (Article 24 reserves half of Chamber of Deputies for Christians) against fellow Muslims. However, the main question is why Hezbullah doesn't put Lebanon's majority demographic, Shias, in civil mode to change the Constitution. This would draw all Sunnis to its side.
