Mustaqbal Bloc: Lebanon Unable to Tolerate Repercussions of Syria Crisis

Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc said in a statement on Wednesday that Lebanon is no longer able to handle the repercussions of the Syrian crisis, urging the Lebanese to resort to the state's authority and respect the principle of national partnership.

The bloc stressed after its weekly meeting the necessity to fully commit to the dissociation policy which means the withdrawal of Hizbullah from Syria and the deployment of the Lebanese army along the border with the help of international peacekeeping troops to prevent fighters from crossing between the two countries and “spare Lebanon miseries caused by the party's participation in the fighting in Syria.”

The bloc concluded that “normal and national life in Lebanon is not possible as long as Hizbullah continues its devastating fighting in Syria.”

On the formation of the cabinet, the bloc rejected granting anyone veto power in the next government and voiced total rejection of the people-army-resistance equation “that was exploited to cripple the state and its institutions.”

Denouncing the latest bombings that targeted Haret Hreik in Beirut's southern suburb and Hermel in the Bekaa, the bloc demanded that an investigation be opened into all “terrorist crimes against humanity.”
