Bkerke, Umm al-Sabi and the alternative to neutrality Phalanges

The Maronite Patriarch, Mar Bechara Boutros Al-Rahi, received the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Faris Bweiz, in Bkerke, who spoke with him about the general conditions.

Boise said after the meeting: “I consider the Maronite Patriarchate the mother of the child, and she created Lebanon, and it is her duty to care about the fate of Lebanon when it is exposed to what it is exposed to. Hence the duty of the patriarch to present what he considers as solutions to the current crisis that threatens the country ”.
Boise added: “On the subject of neutrality, we asked what is the opposite of neutrality. The opposite of neutrality is the axis and we all know that in Lebanon no one is an orphan, so if one chooses one axis, the other will choose. a countershaft, and we will end the wars of others in our land, as has happened repeatedly throughout history. Here neutrality is maintained, in isolation from Lebanese interests, to which is added the problem of conflict with Israel is necessary if we want to get out of the crisis because its opposite means the axis, and the axis means war.
He added: “On the issue of internationalization, there is great confusion between the international conference convened by the Patriarch and the internationalization of the Lebanese crisis, and those who went further to speak at the United Nations Chapter Seven. The Patriarch was clear and frank when speaking about an international conference to support Lebanon. “
He asked: “Does anyone imagine that it is possible to get out of the crisis without outside help, and does anyone think that this outside aid could be given without an inclusive conference, that is, by one of the parties?” Does it mean criticizing Bkerke on the subject of a UN sponsored conference? The United States or Iran? “
He said: “From here, I see that the patriarch, who is the patron of this crisis, cannot remain absent or silent. Patriarchy is the mother of Lebanon and the solutions that the pastor proposes will have to turn to him sooner or later.” . . “
