The Higher Defense Council held its first meeting at the Baabda Palace under the chairmanship of President Michel Aoun and in the presence of Prime Minister Saad Hariri, director-general of the State Security apparatus, Maj. Gen. George Qaraa and other security officials, the National News Agency reported Thursday.
The military and security chiefs and judicial authorities attended the meeting, NNA added.
Ahead of the session, Aoun and Hariri held a one-on-one meeting.
Aoun stressed the “importance of pre-emptive confrontation against terrorist groups and the need for coordination between the security agencies.”
An invitation was addressed to Qaraa, after being exempted from such meetings during the term of Prime Minister Tammam Salam-- when Lebanon was witnessing a vacuum at the presidential level.
Christian political parties and ministers have described the exclusion of Qaraa from security meetings at the Grand Serail as an “encroachment on the rights of Christians in state institutions.”

Do these jokers sit at the table and are able to keep a straight face knowing they are actively assisting and aiding a terror militia based in lebanon to transport weapons and personnel out of lebanon and into arab countries such as syria, iraq, yemen and bahrain.

Both general Aoun who is now president and Mr. Saado Hariri who is now prime minister are quickly earning my respect for holding a one-on-one meeting ahead of the session and for stressing the “importance of pre-emptive confrontation against terrorist groups and the need for coordination between the security agencies.” and for improving the situation in the country and security on NYE festivities.
