Head of the Islamic Supreme Shiite Council, Sheikh Abdel Amir Qabalan, urged all politicians to make concessions and place Lebanon's interests above any other consideration.
Sheikh Qabalan's words on Thursday came in his Hajj message for this year, whereby he called for the formation of a national government to address the socio-economic issues and daily living conditions.
The Sheikh also called for best cordial relations with Syria, noting that "such cohesive ties have been and remain a national necessity to protect Lebanon, revive economy and secure Syrian refugees' return to their homeland."
