Hezbollah official calls for electing new Lebanese president
The head of Hezbollah’s religious committee, Sheikh Mohammed Yazbek, has called for the election of a new Lebanese president.
“It’s about time the Lebanese met around a dialogue table to exit the lethal vacuum through electing a president and restoring regularity in state institutions,” Yazbek said.
He also called for “closing ranks to protect the country and provide security, stability, sovereignty and prosperity for our people.”
Hezbollah’s Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc had also called Thursday for speeding up the election of a new president and finding an appropriate solution to avoid vacuum in the army chief post.
