Maronite Patriarch Beshara Boutros Rai said that the country has been witnessing a political and security crisis, coupled with the crisis of the Syrian refugees and an economic crisis, stressing that “this situation has become unbearable.”
Rai kicked off a two-day tour across the region of Zahle, where he called on the government to support the private schools.
Speaking from the municipality of Zahle, Rai stressed the need to work on ensuring the safe return of the refugees to their country, noting that there are many secure zones in Syria.
“We should not wait for the International Community to make the decisions, because they have their own accounts,” he pointed out.
