Al-Rahi: We don't want a 'settlements president'

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday rejected what he called the election of a “settlements president.”

Turning to the issue of the new government, al-Rahi called for the formation of “an inclusive rather than a partisan government.”

“It should be the government of the people, not the government of a party, coalition or a group that wants to impose hegemony on the country through it,” the patriarch added.

“The people reject a government and a president who would be tailored to fit the interests of some parties,” al-Rahi went on to say.
