Hariri Willing to Leave If People Vote him Out
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.
“This is Nepotism and wrong,” the follower said.
“So you want me to leave politics?,” Hariri asked.
He reiterated that he has no problem with the Shiite sect and that his differences are with Hizbullah.
“I have a lot difference with Hizbullah politics and what they do, I have no issue with the Shiites because we are Lebanese,” he said.
Asked what his wish is for New Year, the former PM tweeted: “My wish is to give every Lebanese the freedom to speak and all infrastructure that is needed, from electricity to roads to telecom.”
He reiterated that he will be back to Beirut, stressing that his “wish is to see Lebanon the way” his father slain ex-Premier Rafik Hariri wanted it.
