Hariri Says No Civil War in Lebanon, Change ‘Imminent’ in Syria
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri slammed on Saturday any renewal of the national dialogue that doesn’t address the defense strategy, stressing that there will be no civil war in Lebanon.
Asked by a twitter user if the opposition will join any national dialogue if it didn’t discuss the national strategy, Hariri said “there’s no need.”
He refused to comment over accusations that his economic policies cost Lebanon a lot.
“Well I am sure people know who lies and who doesn’t, who is sincere and who isn't,” Hariri said.
Concerning the developments in Syria, he stressed that “change is imminent in Syria.”
“He (President Bashar Assad) is finished you will see,” Hariri told one twitter user.
