Maronite Patriarch Beshara Rahi revealed that he had called for an international conference on Lebanon “after the Lebanese politicians escaped dialogue because they are bound by their personal interests.”
“Lebanon is ill, but its officials do not want to treat it,” he said at
the launching ceremony of the “Gathering of Identity and Sovereignty” document, titled “a new vision for Lebanon of tomorrow, a neutral decentralized civil state.”
“The officials do not have the right to destroy a state and a people by destroying the system and the constitution,” he stressed.
