Patriarch Hazim Expresses Concern over Lebanon, Rejects Attacks on Presidency
27/3/2010
Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch and all the East Ignatius Hazim IV has expressed concern over Lebanon hoping that “everyone would work for the Lebanese without any exception or segregation.”
During a visit to Our Lady of Balamand Monastery, Hazim told As Safir newspaper’s correspondent that he was “always with legitimacy.” He also rejected verbal attacks on the president and constitutional institutions.
“The Lebanese should love their country … and they should unite to solve their social problems … such as power cuts,” he said. “Everyone should join hands to implement (development) projects in all regions.”
On fears over a possible Israeli attack on Gaza or Lebanon, the patriarch said such an aggression has “no justification.”
He also regretted that the people of what is called a united Arab nation fight against each other. Hazim criticized differences among Palestinians at a time when Israel continues to push ahead with plans to build more settlements.
