Saniora Warns of Implementing Foreign Agendas, Jeopardizing Future of Lebanese
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Head of al-Mustaqbal Movement MP Fouad al-Saniora warned on Thursday that Israel will not skip a chance to attack Lebanon, stressing that it is no longer acceptable to risk the lives of the Lebanese.
“It is no longer acceptable to risk the lives of the people to implement foreign agendas that don't meet the demands of the Lebanese and achieve their interests,” Saniora said in a statement.
He criticized the Israeli airstrike on a Hizbullah convoy, which killed six fighters, saying: “There's no need to prove that Israel benefits from all chances to attack Lebanon....”
“We should be aware that Israel has enough excuses to carry out an aggression against Lebanon... and will not miss the chance.”
The March 14 official urged politicians to safeguard the Lebanese, their interests and the future of their children.
“Israel is capable of creating excuses for any aggression and the Lebanese shouldn't grant it any chance to carry out such an attack as Lebanon has paid a lot for its reconstruction and restoration of stability,” Saniora added.
He underlined the importance of preserving and committing to U.N. Security Council resolution 1701, considering it “the wisest option during this critical stage that Lebanon is passing through.”
Hizbullah said Israel carried out Sunday's strike on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, which killed Jihad Mughniyeh, a prominent Hizbullah fighter, a senior Iranian general, and five other party members.
Israel has gone on high alert for possible attacks by Hizbullah. It has beefed up its air defenses and increased surveillance along its northern frontier following the airstrike.
The Jewish state and Hizbullah are bitter enemies and fought a bloody month-long war in the summer of 2006.

Who is Saniora preaching to here? Hizb are ready to sacrifice an infinite number of Lebanese lives just to protect one Syrian mass-murderer.

If only was it the wish of any Lebanese Gov. To free itself from the Cancerous tool,
Iran has implanted In her midst, it should have asked for French assistance to kick them out, back to Tehran.
Israel isn't waiting for an opportunity to attack inside Lebanon, absolutely Not.
To Israelis, Lebanon always represented "A little piece of Europe" in the region.
The fact Lebanese leaders - who for long were under Syrian influence - wouldn't or couldn't
Accept Israel as part of the region, is paying back today with high dividends...

He may or may not be sincere. But at the very leasst he is delivering the right message and has the right flag by his side (unlike the flag by the side of Nasrallah).

Oh Siniora is a thief alright no better than the rest, but at least here he is seen s saying the right things, thus needs to be commended. My only worry is this, that he doesn't come and slap us with a TVA hike.

Texas, actually Saniora wouldn't be arrested as easy as you think, as long as Rifi is justice minister.
Puppeteer, FPM published a book. And why didn't they file charges against Sanioura? Is it because the FPM embezzled some money for themselves?

Well well well I see the Overwhelming blindness against a statesman who defended the constitution and still against an army of hizbolah and a list of racist people, let it be clear that Saniora is well know for his protection to government assets and if you have proof i will be the first to denounce him.
