Hariri Rejects Civil War Says Hizbullah Role in Syria Imported Terrorism to Lebanon
Al-Mustaqbal Movement leader ex-PM Saad Hariri has blamed Hizbullah for the proliferation of terrorist groups in Lebanon and vowed to stop the eruption of a new civil war in the country.
“Hizbullah’s involvement in defense of the Assad dictatorship in Syria has imported terrorism to Lebanon,” Hariri said at the Wilson Center in Washington on Monday.
“We are currently in dialogue with Hizbullah and our dialogue aims at defusing tensions in the country,” he said.
However he stressed that the party “will only listen to Iran” on key issues, such as the withdrawal of its fighters from Syria and the election of a president in Lebanon.
Hariri said that “a vacuum in the presidency is very dangerous and contributes to the paralysis of all state institutions.”
Lebanon has been without a head of state since President Michel Suleiman's six-year term ended in May last year.
The former prime minister urged all parties to abide by the Baabda Declaration which calls for distancing Lebanon from the war in neighboring Syria.
“We need to fight all sorts of extremism – Sunni or Shiite. To do this, there needs to be a clear international policy to support the voices of moderation in the region,” Hariri said.
The Mustaqbal leader stressed that his “only priority remains to protect Lebanon.”
“I hear many in the international community often repeat that given all that is happening in the region, Lebanon is still in a good place,” he said.
“At least there is some relative stability. However this stability is not sustainable unless state institutions are strengthened and the war in Syria is resolved,” he added.
Hariri vowed not to “allow civil war to return to our country. We will never resort to violence no matter what despite the fact that we are only faced with violence and assassinations.”
“We have clearly stood by the side of justice, moderation, and state institutions, in the fight against terrorism and extremism,” he stated.
“However, if the current status quo persists, it will become increasingly difficult to prevent the flames of the region from igniting civil strife in Lebanon,” he added.

Mystic - I agree that what happened in Halba was disgusting. But what happened in Beirut by the Hizb and its supporters was equally disgusting. Halba events were a criminal response to the Hizb invasion of Beirut. The perpetrators are wanted criminals while the Hizbos and the other thugs that terrorized Beirut and killed its people are free.
9 years
What invasion was that? M14 thugs thought that the Resistance was weakened after 2006, so the Mostaqbal vultures attacked in full force removing telecoms in 2008, well they got themselves defeated after a few days because they are weak, all they managed was to massacre those unarmed in Halba.
In Beirut it was fighers vs fighters, so drop the innocence.

Hariri is a real talented liar. He knows exactly what to say, in order for his western allies to love him. He uses big words "moderation" etc. Yet people forget, that behind him is the Wahabi shadow of Al Saud.

Moderation is not a big word except in the mind of a Jihadi.

what crimes? which one bothers most hariri? that hezbollah is defending lebanon against israelis? or that it is defending lebanon against takfiris?

No vulturedawn, you share the views of Abu Bakr Baghdadi and Al Golani. Mostaqbal would gladly open the borders for these takfiris if they had the chance, everything to remove the Resistance.
Just as in the 2006 war when mostaqbalis hoped for the Zionists to finish off the shi3a.

كشف الرئيس سعد الحريري في جلسة الحوار التي عقدت في “ويلسون سنتر” في واشنطن ان اللواء السوري رستم غزالي “اتصل بنا قبل مقتله واراد ان يظهر على التلفزيون ويعلن عن امر ما لا نعرف ما هو وبعد ذلك مباشرة تم ضربه”.
واضاف: “قبل يوم واحد من حادئة الضرب التي تعرض لها، اتصل غزالي بشخص اعرفه واعطيناه رقم تلفزيون قناة “المستقبل”.
وتابع: “اراد ان يطل عبر “المستقبل” وان يقول شيئا ولكن الفرصة لم تتح له، كما حصل مع غازي كنعان الذي انتحر بخمس رصاصات”.

Ghazali sold his memoirs to a newspaper and it seems this was one of the reasons that led to his liquidation by assad.
حصلت إحدى الدول العربية على مذكرات اللواء رستم غزالة خلال فترة الوجود السوري في لبنان، حيث كان يتولى منصب رئيس فرع الاستطلاع.
ويتوقع أن يؤدي نشر هذه المذكرات إلى الإطاحة برؤوس كبيرة في سوريا ولبنان وبعض الدول العربية والإقليمية والأجنبية

Sometimes I wonder between Mr. Hariri and Sayed Hassan if Lebanon is being done a favor or a disfavor. One follows Iran, the other the KSA. Is there anyone in Lebanon who follows Lebanon? Or better still, is there anyone in Lebanon or outside Lebanon that will make countries like Iran, Syria or the KSA follow Lebanon? I guess the only ideology we Lebanon still have left to us are singers, they are the only ones still able to bring to the same table Arabs and non-Arabs, if albeit for a few hours.

When you criticize Ebola, their Followers label you "zionists"
When you criticize the Butcher, their Followers label you "ISIS and Daech."
When you criticize Iran, their Followers label you "Wahhabi, Saudi and on the pay list of Hariri".
When you criticize Caporal, imbassil and Co, their Followers label you "LF, and Geagea servants".
Well, I am an honest simple Christian and a patriot who believes that Ebola, Iran, the Butcher and their servant the Caporal are destroying my beloved country.

One more thing to add: I really pitty Ebola and Iranian agents for they have no more any capacity to think or reason.

The reason why you're identified as a zionist hasbara shill is because you flood the forum with divisive propaganda that can only harm every side in lebanon. You post every day a hundred times the same one-liner, several times on each and every article, that is only aimed at inciting hatred.
Quit playing the victim here because you're called out on what you're doing. Is it in your genes or something to play the victim while bullying everyone?

Say that to the people in Halba, that your takfiri supporters chopped up in 2008, long before the war in Syria began.
Numerous other incidents aswell, mostaqbal is to blame for Ahmed Assir aswell.
