We Will Take Appropriate Measures if Attacks Against Sfeir Continue

March 14 general-secretariat coordinator Fares Soaid warned on Saturday that the coalition would take appropriate measures if officials from the opposition continue to criticize and attack Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir.

Attacks against Sfeir mean "overstepping the red line," Soaid told al-Markazia news agency.

"We as a national political team and as a Christian team will have the appropriate stance and (take appropriate) measures if this moral decadence continues," Soaid warned.

"The Syrian-Iranian pair is trying to attack him through authorities that are loyal to Syria and Iran before being loyal to Lebanon," he told the agency.

The March 14 official added that Sfeir was being attacked by the March 8 team because he is the only authority that defended Lebanon”s sovereignty and independence during the Israeli occupation and Syrian tutelage.

Soaid stressed that Sfeir "represents Lebanon”s conscience" and seeks to prevent "any coup attempts against Lebanese values."

He said the March 14 forces will stand by the patriarch, adding despite their differences with the March 8 alliance they never attacked Christian or Muslim spiritual authorities.
