| [ARABNEWS] Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil responded to what he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s "allegations" in his speech to the UNGA on Sept. 27 claiming that Hezbollah had missile launchers near Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport. Bassil gathered foreign ambassadors to Leb and representatives of the diplomatic missions and UN organizations in the ministry’s headquarters in Beirut about "false allegations" from the UN forum. Bassil said that the international community bears the responsibility for "accepting false allegations launched from the UN forum, and this is your responsibility, especially the permanent members in the UNSC." The US ambassador, Elizabeth Richard, was absent because she was traveling, but prominent attendees included the ambassadors of Russia, La Belle France, Britannia, the EU, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... and Kuwait. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... Arab ambassadors and diplomats missed Bassil’s tour to the area, which Netanyahu said housed Hezbollah’s rocket launchers, in the Ouzai neighborhood, part of Beirut’s southern suburb. Russian Ambassador Alexander Zasypkin was keen to be present for every part of the tour. The tour, which was accompanied by journalists and photographers, started from the golf course that Bassil said "Netanyahu raised its (the hangar’s) image in front of the UNGA audience." Instead of heading to the hangar, the delegation went to the al-Ahed stadium, which Israel claimed was a missile platform. "The doors are open to see everything, we are a sports club, we played 47 games without a loss," a stadium official said. "What’s under the stands is changing rooms." |
