MP Hajjar calls for apology by Hezbollah
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 to 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 claims that they wished that the situation would calm this summer should be compared with their acts.
In response to a statement made by Hezbollah MP Mohammad Raad, Hajjar said he felt it was “incorrect and inappropriate. To recover the Shebaa Farms Lebanese sovereignty was a demand of all the Lebanese, and such statements surprised me from deputy Raad Indeed.
