Prime Minister Fouad Saniora criticized Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah's call for direct popular presidential elections, saying this could lead to one sect crushing the other. "This proposal Â… is, in principle, against the constitution," the daily An Nahar on Saturday quoted Saniora's sources as saying. "At the very least, one could say about this proposal that it would lead to one sect defeating the other," Saniora said.
On Nasrallah's accusations that Israel committed the serial killings in Lebanon to facilitate creation of an international tribunal that would be used to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime, Saniora said: "No one brushed aside that possibility. It is likely."
However, Saniora, wondered that if Israel was behind those killings, "is it by chance that it chose its targets from March 14 only?" |
