Al-Rahi fears 'civil war' if Hezbollah disarmed by force
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi has said that “Bkirki believes that the solution for the file of Hezbollah’s arms should be through diplomacy and not armed confrontation.”
“This is what President Joseph Aoun has adopted and it is the right thing to do,” al-Rahi added, in an interview with An-Nahar newspaper.
Moreover, al-Rahi voiced concern that the use of force to disarm Hezbollah might lead to “civil war” and a confrontation with the army, while adding that Hezbollah’s handover of its weapons should not hinge over Israel’s withdrawal from the South.
“Hezbollah must hand over its weapons and this is a final decision. What is the value of these weapons at the moment? To resist whom?” the patriarch added.

AAAAAAkkkkkhhhhhhh....
Where's a Batrak Sfeir when we need one.
THE BIG LIE IS DISARMING IRAN MERCENARIES BY FORCE LEADS TO CIVIL WAR. Army can & must disarm HizbIran in one month. Lebanese, Arabs, European & US support army while HizbIran is hated by all including majority of Shia, primary Hizb victims. Army can start in areas outside Hizb control. Truth, not disarming HizbIran & bringing its leaders to justice is treason and betrayal of millions Lebanese victims pushed into poverty & despair by these criminal mercenaries. HizbIran core fighters include thousands of assassins that killed in cold blood Hariri, Tueni, Shateh, Slim and dozen others; trained terrorists & committed massacres in Syria & Yemen; & perfected money laundering, tax evasion & drug/Captagon illicit trade. Not disarming is cancer that will kill Lebanon, maintain junk rating, prevent investment, rebuilding & recovery leading to more misery!
