Israeli Threats Boost Our National Unity
Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Monday addressed those who doubt the chances of Lebanon to prosper in shadow of Israeli threats by saying: "The enemy”s threats against our country are real and clear, but that boosts our national unity. National unity boosts stability, and stability boosts productivity and achievements."
Hariri was speaking at a dinner thrown in his honor by the economic committees in BIEL.
"I tell you, and I tell every Lebanese man and woman: We are standing at the gate of a real, concrete, and promising opportunity which we will not be forgiven by our children and grandchildren if we lose it. An opportunity that if we seize is itself the opportunity that can compensate the entire citizen”s lost chances," added Hariri.
Hariri stressed that Lebanon did not only avoid the world economical crisis, but also managed to develop the economy in its shadow.
"This internal political opportunity is accompanied by a regional opportunity reflected in the Arab rapprochement and the rebuilding of the Arab interests system which the Lebanese State will always be, in all its ingredients and institutions, an essential part of it — considering that the Lebanese people are the pioneers of modern Arabism, just like Arabism is a shield that has protected Lebanon in face of all threats," added Hariri.
