Prime Minister-designate and leader of the Lebanese “Movement of the Future”, Saad Hariri
The Lebanese “Future” movement led by Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri, in response to statements by Iranian air force commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, stated that “Lebanon is not a platform for Iranian gambling in the region.”
Hussein Al-Wajih, Hariri’s media adviser, wrote on Twitter: “Some Iranian officials insist on treating Lebanon as an Iranian boycott and are trying to involve the Lebanese people in the open wars of the Iranian regime with the international community.”
He added that “Lebanon has not been and will not be the front line in the confrontation on behalf of Iran, and the Lebanese will not pay prices for the Iranian regime.”
He continued: “Lebanon is an Arab country committed to the statutes of the Arab League, and it is sovereign, free and independent.”

Lebanon is an Arab country committed to the statutes of the Arab League, and is sovereign, free and independent. 2/2– Hussein Wajeh (@husseinwajeh) January 2, 2021
