Sfeir's Coup against Unity Gov't, Hezbollah: National Stance?!
30/10/2009 Once again, Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir changes all "priorities" in Lebanon…
A few hours ago, "optimism" that a "national unity government" would see light within hours was prevailing in Lebanon. But, everything changed suddenly…
"March 14 should have taken command of the rule in Lebanon after the June 7 parliamentary elections," Lebanon's Maronite Patriarch said, finding strange the "combination" of loyalty and opposition in a so-called "unity" government, a government that doesn't seem to exist in the Patriarch's "dictionary."
The Patriarch is known for his refusal of the "principle" of a unity government… Yet, he decided to go on this time and assail a major Lebanese party, Hezbollah, the Resistance party that, according to the Patriarch, cares for Iranian interests more than Lebanese ones!
A day after his "surprising" statements, the Maronite Patriarch was insisting he didn't say anything wrong. His visitors quoted him that his statement the day before came as "part of his national stances and comments" made during his sermons.
"Those who talk about a majority that rules and a minority that opposes and make accusations against Hezbollah … should be aware that those who shed blood for Lebanon's honor and the dignity of the Lebanese deserve medals of belonging and loyalty," Mufti Sheikh Ahmed Qabalan said on Friday in response.
Speaking during Friday prayers at Imam Hussein bin Ali mosque in Bourj al-Barajaneh, Sheikh Qabalan urged all forces to make more concessions for the sake of Lebanon. "Any position or any gain has no meaning if the fate of the country is under threat," his eminence said.
