During the holy mass held at Bkerke, Rai said that Lebanon relies on its friend states, mainly France, in order to maintain a regional and international atmosphere appropriate to hold the presidential elections.
“We will not accept a presidential void in Lebanon, because division will affect its stability,” he added.
On another note, Rai called on the International Community to reach a solution for the Arab-Israeli conflict, pointing out that Lebanon suffers from the burden of the Syrian crisis, due to the influx of 1.5 million Syrian refugees.
“Why does Lebanon have to bear the burden of the war in Syria?” he asked.
