Al-Rahi Meets Abul Gheit, Says 'Ill' Lebanon Must Turn to Arab Friends
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi said Monday, after meeting with Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit in Egypt, that he wants Lebanon to be an active member of the Arab League.
"Today, Lebanon is suffering from a disease. It must in its illness turn to friends and this is what we are doing today,” al-Rahi added.
Al-Rahi had met on Sunday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Cairo.
He said he discussed with him the thorny issue of Hizbullah’s weapons, and said he sensed in Sisi an interest in Lebanon and a keenness on holding the Lebanese parliamentary elections on time.
