Saniora Urges for an Initiative to Stop Hizbullah from Slipping into Syria's Conflict
Head of the Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc Fouad Saniora urged religious and political figures to take an initiative and stop Hizbullah from sliding into the armed conflict fanning out in Syria, the state-run National News Agency said Wednesday.
Saniora held separate talks with President Michel Suleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri, Vice President of the Higher Islamic Shiite Council Sheikh Abdul Amir Qabalan, former Speaker Hussein Husseini and other figures where discussions touched on the latest developments in Lebanon.
Head of the Mustaqbal bloc highlighted the possible dangers that could be inflicted on Lebanon if Hizbullah continued to slip into the military conflict in Syria.
He called on the religious and political figures to exert all possible efforts in that regard.
He said: “Stemming from the inter Lebanese-Christian-Muslim partnership I ask you to take an initiative and move hand in hand to stop Hizbullah from involving Lebanon, the Arabs and Muslims in the conflict in Syria."
“I am sure that Hizbullah and the Shiite community have wise leaders who refuse this military involvement that could drive Lebanon to the abyss. Let the Syrian people handle their own problems,” he stressed.
Moreover, Saniora reiterated the stance of his bloc denouncing Syrian breaches against Lebanon's north and east borders.
He also denounced the threats of some Syrian rebels warning to target the southern suburb of Beirut over assumptions that Hizbullah is participating in the ongoing fight against the Syrian regime.
