Former premier Saad Hariri condemned Wednesday what he called the “assassination” of three Lebanese young men at the hands of Syrian security forces in the northern Lebanese border area of Wadi Khaled.

In a statement issued by his press office, Hariri held Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s government responsible for “the frequent Syrian violations against Lebanese citizens and Lebanese sovereignty.”

Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea returned to Beirut on Tuesday from his trip to Riyadh where he held talks with former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and a number of high-ranking Saudi officials, said the LF media department in a statement.

Geagea and Hariri held lengthy and comprehensive talks on the situation in Lebanon and the region, it added.

Former premier Saad Hariri on Monday said the Arab League should seek a “no-fly zone” over revolt-hit Syria, stressing that “everything must be done” to stop what he called a “massacre.”

“The Arab League should go to the U.N. and (seek) a no-fly zone (over Syria) and if Russia vetoes (the resolution) then a joint force should be formed with Turkey,” Hariri said on the social networking website Twitter.

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri noted on Friday that some members of the Lebanese government are seeking to drag Lebanon onto a path of terrorism through covering up the Syrian regime’s crimes.

He made his statements in light of the twin bomb attacks that took place in Damascus earlier on Friday and the Syrian Foreign Ministry’s statements that Lebanon had warned earlier this week that members of al-Qaida had infiltrated the country.

Former PM Saad Hariri said Thursday that the wage hike decision made by the government is “shameful and a political bill that the Lebanese will pay from their economic future and their livelihood.”

On Wednesday, the Free Patriotic Movement, Hizbullah and Amal dealt a blow to Miqati after they voted in favor of a wage boost decree proposed by Nahhas hours after the Economic Committees and the General Labor Confederation agreed with minor changes on a previous proposal made by the PM.

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri stressed on Wednesday the need for the whole of Lebanon to come under the control of the state and army.

He said: “No one in Lebanon can eliminate the other and we are all Lebanese and bound to work together.”

Former Premier Saad Hariri has said that Hizbullah will stop being stronger than the state once it stops relying on its weapons to impose its will.

“I believe weapons should be only in the hands of the Lebanese government,” Hariri said on twitter on Tuesday night.

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri stressed late Sunday that he was willing to quit politics if the Lebanese people voted him out.

“If people vote me out I am willing to leave is that fair enough,” he said on Twitter when one follower told him that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s father Hafez left his post for him as Rafik Hariri did.

The leaderships of the Progressive Socialist Party and al-Mustaqbal movement in Iqlim al-Kharroub stressed on Sunday their continued cooperation and the need to preserve calm rhetoric.

“The political status quo and the developments around us create fear and cautiousness … that’s why it is our responsibility to preserve a calm rhetoric, hold onto stability and exert joint efforts to limit political tension to steer the region clear of any agitation,” the leaderships of the two parties said in a statement after holding talks at the PSP’s offices in Daraya.

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri stressed on Saturday on the importance of confiscating the “illegal arms,” noting that the Syrian people are getting closer to their “freedom.”

“Weapons should be only with the security forces and the army,” Hariri said in English, answering a question from a Twitter user.
