Caretaker Foreign Affairs Minister Gebran Bassil welcomed on Wednesday a delegation representing the Muslim Scholars Association headed by Sheikh Hassan Abdullah, who lauded what he described as “Minister Bassil's practical response exposing the lies of the Israeli enemy's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, who accused Lebanon of possessing weapon depots in the whereabouts of Beirut airport road.”
"This is another type of resistance; it's a diplomatic resistance, in which Minister Bassil has proven to be very efficient and professional," the Muslim scholar said, noting as well the Minister's constant efforts to ensure a safe return of Syrian refugees to their homeland.
Abdullah also stressed the need to accelerate the formation of the cabinet, emphasizing the importance of adopting a single criterion, which is based on the results obtained in parliamentary elections.
He stated that there are no justifications for the delay in the cabinet formation other than foreign pressures being exerted to allow a certain party to achieve more than it deserves, or to take advantage of this delay awaiting the developments in the region.
