Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat said on Sunday that the measures taken by Gulf countries against Lebanon were the result of fiery statements made by Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the ill-defined stances of Foreign Minster Jebran Bassil.

“The first thing that the Lebanese must do to counter the influx of Syrians is to urge the Foreign Minister to talk to the friends of Bashar, that is Hizbullah, who is killing the people in Syria and to ask the Syrian regime itself to stop killing its people so they do not flow into Lebanon,” Soaid stated to the daily.

Head of the Parliamentary Media Committee MP Hassan Fadalallah stated that the illegal internet network file is growing like a snowball, but assured that the committee's efforts will continue until the perpetrators behind this scandal are revealed, As Safir daily reported on Thursday.

Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq on Tuesday vowed from Britain that he will exert efforts to address the “security gaps” at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport, hours after suicide bombers killed 35 people and wounded over 200 at Brussels airport and a metro train.
