"Hezbollah has committed a historic mistake when it resorted to the use of weapons against the Lebanese people to protect its arms ." Harb told Voice of Lebanon. Harb added: "That was a departure from Hezbollah claims that its arms were for resistance purposes only and will never be used against the Lebanese people."

Harb said : "What is needed today is tending to the wounds, and I call on Sayyed Nasrallah , Speaker Nabih Berri and their allies in the opposition to work towards tending to the wounds. " Harb said the "Doha accord saved Lebanon from the brink of an explosion. But the Doha accord suffered a setback as a result of the security problems in Beirut " Harb was referring to the attacks by Hezbollah and Amal gunmen against the residents of West Beirut in the Tareek el jadeedah and Cornich el Mazraa, that prompted Parliament majority leader and head of the Future movement MP Saad Hariri to suspend all talks regarding the formation of the government

Harb emphasized that "the Lebanese system is built around consensus " and criticized the right of veto given to the opposition in the new government stressing that the Hezbollah led-opposition did not want the veto power to participate in the government decisions as a partner , but to block the decisions that do not favor the opposition and its allies.
