Rai praised the statement that was issued by the government yesterday to reassure Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states of Lebanon’s commitment to Arab consensus over joint issues.
Rai emphasized that the country is friend with all the Arab nations, noting that issues should be treated in political and diplomatic ways.
“The Constitution is clear; Lebanon is one of the founding members of the Arab League and is active in it,” he added.
The patriarch also slammed the fact that some stances and statements are “killing Lebanon's position at the heart of the Arab League."
