IVKOURA, Lebanon: Greek Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius IV Hazim said Wednesday that there is no fear for Christians living in Lebanon and Syria but only of forces “working to destroy us.”
Following a meeting with a Hezbollah delegation at the patriarchate in Balamand, Hazim said “I refuse that there be fear for Christians.
We are present in Lebanon and Syria, and we have no fear for Christians; we only fear when there are forces working on destroying us.”
Hazim added that Christians will remain in Syria and will coexist with everyone as they are no strangers to the region.
Ghaleb Abu Zeinab, a member of Hezbollah’s political bureau, described the meeting as a good opportunity to discuss national issues.
