The President of the Council of Ministers Saad Hariri chaired this afternoon at the Grand Serail a meeting of the Council of ministers, a statement by the Prime Minister’s office indicated on Monday.
Although the session was dedicated to the discussion of the draft budget, Prime Minister Hariri said at the beginning of the meeting: “The repeated threats by officials in the Israeli government, and in the media, against the civilians in Lebanon and their legitimate institutions and infrastructure aim at covering up Israel’s constant violations of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, while Lebanon abides by it and calls for its full implementation.”
He added: “I ask the Foreign minister (Gebran Bassil) to prepare a list of these Israeli official stances announced in the media, and prepare a detailed letter about them to the UN Security Council so that the international community shoulders its responsibility in facing this deliberate tautening and this unconcealed threat to regional stability.”
Earlier, Hariri received Army Commander General Joseph Aoun who thanked him for the decision to appoint him at this position. It was also an occasion to discuss the security situation in the country and the efforts exerted by the army to preserve security and stability and fight terrorism.
Hariri also received the Secretary General of the March 14 Forces, Fares Souaid, and Mr Radwan As-Sayed and discussed with them the situation.
