Lebanese President slams Israel for violating airspace to bomb Syria
2018-04-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] Lebanese President Michel ’Aoun stated during a cabinet meeting this week that Leb will not accept Israel’s unlawful use of his nation’s airspace to bomb another country.
That’s nice, dear.
"Leb considers Israel’s use of Lebanese airspace an attack on our illusory sovereignty, and we will not accept any Israeli exploitation of our airspace," Aoun said in remarks during a session for the Cabinet at Baabda palace.

"We condemn any Israeli attack on any Arab state," he continued.
Yes, yes. Your mustache is especially fierce today, too.
"Leb will file a complaint against the Israeli violation of the Lebanese illusory sovereignty before the UN Security Council," he indicated.

For his part, Prime Minister Saad Hariri
Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
has him bumped off, too.

commented on the regional juncture, saying: "We are working on dissociating Leb from any potential problem that might erupt due to the developments."
