Bassil lauds Christians of south, slams framework agreement

W460

Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil has lauded the Christian residents of the southern border towns for “clinging to the 10,452 square kilometers,” in the wake of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that they had asked to be annexed to Israel.

Separately, Bassil expressed grief over the death of a Lebanese school principal and her mother in an Israeli airstrike in Nabatieh al-Fawqa.

Moreover, the FPM chief blasted the framework agreement that was reached in Washington between Lebanon and Israel.

“It is a scary scene when authorities are impotent in the face of an agreement that has exposed Lebanon and granted Israel the cover to attack and occupy, preventing us from even complaining and making us fear more for Lebanon,” Bassil added.

Everyone wants to open their mouth and complain about the framework especially the iranian-previous syrian allies, yet i have not heard any of them explain how and when they were able to stop the destruction machine (aka israel) from flattening the south 70 towns like gaza.
Who really get the credit to stop israel other than aoun and salam?

Once the Lebanon-Israel agreement gets off the ground and Hizballah terrorists are got (at least) disarmed, the peace-loving sectors of the population of the country will see an Israeli troops return to the internationally recognised border and a great improvement in their standard of living.
