| 2008-06-13 |
| MP Mohammed Hajjar of the Democratic Gathering bloc said the only way to end the chaos and eliminate the repercussions of the clashes in Beirut was for the offenders to "confess their sins." "I mean Hezbollah," he clarified, calling on Hezbollah to apologize to the people and regions affected by the events. After visiting with the Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammad Rashid Qabbani, Hajjar stressed that Beirut should be "safe and demilitarized," where the only legitimate weapon were those of the Lebanese Army and security forces. The formation of a national-unity government had faltered due to the opposition's reluctance to apply the clauses of the Doha agreement. Hajjar said Hezbollah's words that they wished that the situation would calm this summer should be coupled with action to make sure the summer is calm. Hajjar said he was shocked by Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad statement about Shebaa Farms. Hajjar said during the 2006 dialogue talks it was agreed that Lebanon will try to recover this area from Israel through diplomatic means and that Lebanon will demarcate its borders with Syria . He added Raad statements do not providing optimal conditions for the restoration of Lebanon's sovereignty and independence. " |
