Al-Rahi Slams Those 'Pushing Lebanon to Collapse for Suspicious Motive'

W460

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday called on officials concerned with the formation of the new government to “quickly leave the prisons of their preconditions.”

“Let them show professionalism and nobleness and let them honorably, carefully, responsibly and consciously listen to the pain of the people,” al-Rahi added in a mass marking the beginning of the Marian month, urging officials to “form a capable government comprising promising national talents.”

“Some are pushing Lebanon to further collapse for a suspicious motive,” the patriarch lamented.

He also hoped the rapprochement among rival forces in the region will reflect positively on the Lebanese situation, calling on Lebanese political forces to “withdraw from conflicts and axes, which would allow Lebanon to regain its neutrality, independence and stability.”

Funny how our Batrak keeps telling us the same thing over and over every Sunday. It is confusing to know what he is saying and why. If he truly knows who is stopping the formation of government and as he is saying that the country on the verge of collapse, why can't let us know who are the parties blocking its formation? Very simple - pick one
1. Aoun and hizballa ( iran and syria)
2. Hariri (saudi arabia)

Lebanon has one main problem, Hezbollah. This is why they can't get anything done. It is the reason they haven't held those accountable for the port blast, why they haven't had an independent forensic audit done of their central bank and the reason they can't get an IMF loan to tide them over. They allowed them into their government and now can't put them out. Now they are desperate to resolve the off-shore areas with Israel so they can produce gas / oil. Even if successful in those talks, revenues will realized far too late to save their economy. They should have resolved those differences years ago but their hate for Israel caused them to take a militant stance instead.
