Salam stresses need to spare Lebanon any involvement in Israel-Iran war

W460

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Monday underscored the need to “prevent Lebanon's entanglement in any way in the ongoing war” between Israel and Iran.

Speaking during a cabinet session, Salam said any such involvement would lead to “repercussions that we have nothing to do with.”

Salam also noted that he has asked Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to put into effect the latest Lebanese-Palestinian resolutions regarding Palestinian weapons in Lebanon, while clarifying that an official timetable for arms handover is yet to be decided.

As long as the Government of the Republic of Lebanon can keep Hizballah and the other terrorist organisations under control, then they have no worry in keeping the country out of any involvement in the Israel-Iran War.

Speaking during a cabinet session, Salam said any such involvement would lead to “repercussions that we have nothing to do with.” I.e., he didn't make the racist law, he merely enforces it.

People who use the term "terrorist"--what are they afraid of? God, I think, and people who remind them that they know perfectly well that God is just, immovably so.
