Safadi Rejects 'Insults' against Rafik Hariri: Resistance's Arms Must Be Used Only Against Israel

Caretaker Economy Minister Mohammed Safadi on Sunday voiced his rejection of "the remarks that have attacked late premier Rafik Hariri who is the martyr of entire Lebanon," describing any insult against him as "an insult against the whole Lebanese people."

In a communiqué issued by his press office, Safadi also stressed that "the Resistance's arms should only be used to defend Lebanon against the Israeli enemy."

"Any justification of an alternative usage is totally rejected and strips these arms the legitimacy of resisting" against Israel, Safadi added.
