Hariri Accuses Nasrallah of Acting as Owner of Lebanese Border Regions

Al-Mustaqbal Movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri snapped back at Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah late Tuesday, accusing him of acting as the owner of Lebanese territories.
“Sayyed Hassan is dealing with the Lebanese border region in the South, East, Bekaa and the North as territories owned by Hizbullah, in which it moves as it wishes and buys and sells wars according to its will,” Hariri said in a tweet.
“You are tasking yourself with an immoral and unpatriotic and non-religious mission. You are playing with the fate of Lebanon on the edge of the abyss,” Hariri said in another tweet in response to claims made by Nasrallah that his party would attack Islamist militants in Syria's Qalamoun region that borders Lebanon.
The Mustaqbal leader stressed that Nasrallah believes “there is no place for the army, the government and institutions. Hizbullah is the alternative to all these and will substitute for them in going to war in Qalamoun.”
Nasrallah said in his speech broadcast by his party's al-Manar TV station on Tuesday that the Qalamoun war is imperative.
“Time will tell" when the battle will become full blown, he said, adding there will be no formal announcement before the widely anticipated war begins.
Nasrallah also vowed that his group will continue fighting in Syria along with President Bashar Assad's forces.
Al-Manar said earlier in the day that Hizbullah fighters captured the village of Hasina on the Syrian side of the border.
According to the station, fighting in the border areas near the Lebanese villages of Brital and Tufeil killed more than a dozen jihadi fighters and destroyed several of their vehicles.

A state within a state. Time for the Lebanese to take charge of their destiny I think. Time for disarming all militias and security zones wherever they may be. Let the army take charge of this zoo and bring order, let them court martial anyone who is suspected of harming Lebanon for other countries interests, let them crack down on the mafias ( electricity, water, customs etc etc) there is no other way.

the assad regime is on the brink of collapsing and talks about moving the capital to the northern coastal region are seriously under way.
russia will keep control of the shore on the Mediterranean sea. turkey will soon announce a safe zone in the north, and Jordan will announce a similar one in the south.
the importance of the Qalamoun battle for the iranians is to control a direct line with Lebanon till damascus which they hope they will be able to control.

It's time to expel Nasrallah & Hezbollah from Lebanon & let them take refuge in Syria.
The last thing I want is a president that Hezbollah approves of. Actually, I'd like to see a president that Hezb doesn't approve of, so he can marginalize them.
It's time to unite against this cancer we have, and to erase the last 20 years of nightmare they made us live in.

Hezbollah is not acting like they "own" the borders, they are giving their lives in order to protect them. What is Hairi doing or has done for Lebanon that gives him the right to judge anyone?
All he did was rob the people and divide the country before fleeing back to his sugar daddy's lap in riyadh, and still from there he continues to rob (e.i. dalieh) and divide (i.e. his incessant verbal assaults on those who are defending this country).
tfeh 3aleh, he should never be allowed to come back here.

sure! hariri has a militia under his orders to send to the borders... LOL he asks what any sensible lebanese wants: the army to do the job not a militia... if hezbollah gives lives then it is their problem not lebanese one. WE HAVE AN ARMY in case you forgot...
and concerning robbing the country you'd better be quiet... all lebanese politicians participate in that robbery... and you back some of them...
so instead of lecturing you'd better criticize your own camp first...
hezbollah are acting on their own! as they spat on the disassociation policy and took it on their own to fight for bashar....
