Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros Rai called on the political officials to preserve national unity and put an end to “the destructive exchange of political accusations.”
"I urge the Lebanese officials to secure jobs for unemployed people, to develop a plan to improve the economic situation, to provide education and health care to all," he said.
In his holy sermon delivered during Sunday Mass at Bkerke, Rai saluted President Michel Aoun on the occasion of Father’s Day, noting that he is considered a "civilian father" to all the Lebanese."
