Hundreds of Lebanese gathered in front of the Maronite Patriarchate, to support Patriarch Bishara al-Rai’s call that the country adhere to neutrality in regional conflicts, to get it out of the political and economic crisis.
In a speech to the crowd on Saturday in front of the Patriarchate in Bkerke, the shepherd said: “You came from all of Lebanon, women and men you came, despite the dangers of Corona, to support the proposal of neutrality and the international conference on Lebanon. We will save Lebanon. “
He added, “We want the international conference to declare Lebanon’s neutrality so that it will no longer be a victim of conflicts and wars, and a land of divisions, and thus it is based on the strength of balance, not on the balance of forces that always threaten wars.”
And he added, “There are no two states or states on one land, there are no armies or armies in one country, and there are no two peoples or peoples in one nation. Any tampering with these constants threatens the unity of the state.”
