Hariri: Latest Developments Require us to Rise above Personal Interests to End Division
Hariri: Govt. Has Abandoned its Duties so All Forces Must Rise above Personal Interests to End Division
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri noted on Friday that Eid al-Fitr arrives in Lebanon this year as it is facing dangers that are threatening its sovereignty and security.
He said in a statement: “The government has abandoned its duties in protecting the country, which requires all forces to rise above personal interests and work on ending division.”
“They must cooperate to save the state from collapse and restore the Lebanese people’s faith in its goal to maintain stability and security and eliminate the illegal possession of arms in Lebanon,” he added.
“We look forward to efforts that will help release the abducted Lebanese to their families and put a complete end to the series of kidnappings that are only aimed at creating more tensions and strife,” he continued.
A series of abductions of Syrians and allegedly a Turkish national took place in the past two days by al-Meqdad clan to demand the release of Hassan al-Meqdad, who was kidnapped by Free Syrian Army members in Syria earlier this week.
