Al-Liwaa newspaper also reported that MP Bahia al-Hariri will hold an iftar banquet in Biel on Saturday on the occasion of the 68th anniversary of the army in honor of Army commander General Jean Qahwaji.
Lebanon is a helluva place, the leading Sunni political figure is out of the country fearful for his life if he comes back, since the leader of the Shia political party may have him killed. The leader of the Shia party is underground fearful that the Israelis may kill him if he surfaces. Both appear on the big screen to address their supporters at iftars.
And for the Christian parties, it's leader was buried on September 14, 1982, and a new one has yet to appear. Probably why the other two appear in public only on the big screen
