Bassil: We Will Stop the Sabotage Attempts
Head of the Free Patriotic Movement Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil said on Tuesday that resorting to the help of foreign countries, sabotages agreements between the Lebanese, and stressed that he will stop this from happening by reinforcing Lebanon's internal arena.
“We cannot understand how some resort to foreign powers to sabotage the possibility of an understanding among the Lebanese,” said Bassil after a meeting with MP Talal Arslan.
Bassil added that efforts to sabotage Lebanon's unity will be faced with further internal work to enforce any agreement that the Lebanese can reach.
Answering a question about the Tweet of the Saudi chargé d'affaires that praised ex-Minister Jean Obeid, Bassil said: “Ask (al-Mustaqbal Movement chief ex-PM Saad) Hariri about that. We are only concerned about the internal part of the issue.”
Saudi charges d'affairs Walid Bukhari took to Twitter on Monday and quoted the late Saudi Foreign Affairs Minister Saud al-Faisal: “Lebanon's foreign minister Jean Obeid is the wise man of the Arab foreign ministers.”
The tweet was interpreted by some as favoring a particular candidate for the presidency over another.
Founder of the FPM MP Michel Aoun is a candidate for the presidency facing Marada Movement chief MP Suleiman Franjieh.
